The group made the appeal in a statement it issued in Lagos on Saturday.
The group said the appeal became necessary as the continued recirculation of old, tattered naira notes, which had passed several hands, might lead to further spread of the pandemic. “We observe with sadness that what most banks are doing is to push out these dirty naira notes in endless recycling of what should have been withdrawn and replaced with freshly minted notes.
According to the pan-Nigerian group, such dirty notes, once received by banks, are immediately sent to the mint for replacement in advanced countries.
Its a valid point but Nigeria banks and CBN would not listen, even minister of humanitarian affairs was seen distributing dirty money on TV. Why would this even allowed to happen in Nigeria. See it here, look how dirty Naira notes are, very shameful.
It is even more worrisome with the covid-19 pandemic. Since our country loves suffering their citizens, I hope it hasn't gotten to causing them death in thousands
