But many banks and ATMs have not been dispensing the new notes, leaving many without physical cash to perform their daily affairs. The bank staff are even very lackadaisical, it’s either they don’t have it or they are intentionally being inhumane,” said one resident of Abeokuta. He said this on Wednesday when he appeared before the House of Representatives’s committee in charge of the new naira notes.
