President Muhammadu Buhari has unveiled the redesigned naira notes in Abuja.
The President unveiled the new naira notes on Wednesday morning at the meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC ) at the state house, Abuja.
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele was also in attendance during the unveiling ceremony.
While addressing the FEC members after the unveiling ceremony, the CBN governor debunked the rumours that the early unveiling of new notes is a means to target any Nigerian.
He therefore appealed to the public to refrain from perpetuating such rumours.
He added that the CBN will intensify the monitoring process and interrogate the process of withdrawals.
He stated that there will be strict restriction on the volume of cash that people can withdraw over the counter, as it works with the EFCC to monitor the purpose of any heavy transactions.
