As we speak, we don’t also know if it will release the old notes to banks again but the truth is banks don’t have much of these old notes in their vaults. “We don’t know if the CBN has destroyed the old notes in its custody or not. Yesterday, customers were able to withdraw N20,000, from the bank’s ATM. Most businesses in Ikorodu have also started transacting with the old notes. “Yes, I heard that the CBN has directed that we should start to spend and accept the old notes but what about the people in the villages? “I have some of the old notes before but nobody agreed to collect them from me,” he said. “I am waiting for other traders in the market to start collecting or accepting the old notes before I will collect from my customers.” A visit to branches of Access Bank and Wema Bank in Ebute Metta, Lagos, also showed that the banks had started dispensing the old notes over the counter and via ATMs. A student, who simply identified as Kunle, said some traders in Fagba, Lagos, were yet to fully embrace the acceptance of the old notes as legal tender.

The queue is gradually reducing,” says Mkpooto, a resident of the city. Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES, Nkiruka Romanus, a foodstuff seller in Olojudo market, Ido Ekiti in Ekiti State, quipped: “This is a major relief for everyone now. So what’s the need of collecting it.” However, both President Muhammadu Buhari and CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele refused to comply with the court order. The apex bank had on Monday announced that the old and newly redesigned banknotes remain legal tender until 31 December. “We do not have sufficient supply so I doubt there will be better circulation of money this week.

Wike announced the donation of the sum of N500million to the National Youth Council of Nigeria for the building of its secretariat in Rivers State. According to the index for 2023, a continuous decline in the number of deaths from terrorism has seen Nigeria move down the ladder of nations most impacted by terrorists. To this end, he said he has directed the leadership of the National Youth Council chapter in the state to submit a comprehensive list of Rivers youths who desire to work in the civil service. The Rivers State governor told the teeming youths that as part of effort to recover the looted funds, the state government has commenced the prosecution of Amaechi, Cole and Wokocha in court. The governor, who enumerated several projects executed in all the 23 local government areas of the state, charged the youths to vote wisely for the continuation and consolidation of the development strides of his administration.
