The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has directed commercial banks across the country to start paying the new naira notes to customers over-the-counter to ease the plight of Nigerians. 

In a statement on Thursday signed by the bank’s Director of Corporate Communications, Osita Nwanisobi, CBN stated that “We have equally noticed the queues at Automated Teller Machines across the country and an upward trend in the cases of people stocking and aggregating the newly introduced banknotes they serially obtain from ATMs for reasons best known to them”. 

“Also worrisome are the reported cases of unregistered persons and non-bank officials swapping banknotes for members of the public, purportedly on behalf of the CBN”. 

The apex bank has assured Nigerians that the queues at ATMs will end soon. However, Nigerians have continued to express their dismay over the scarcity of the new naira notes.
