Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has revealed that since President Muhammadu Buhari announced his latest directive on the new Naira policy on Thursday, he (Emefiele) has met with the leadership of about 15 commercial banks.
The CBN Governor stated this when he visited the Presidential Villa hours after the nationwide televised broadcast by the President where he announced that only the old N200 note will remain a legal tender until April 10, 2023.
He said the meeting with the bank executives earlier on Thursday was to ensure ample supply of the old N200 notes to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians.
He also appealed to Nigerians to allow the Naira redesign policy of government to work.
According to him, allowing the currency swap to work will go a long way to help the nation’s economy.
