Description
President Muhammadu Buhari is considering directing the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to allow the old N200 remain legal tender until April 10, 2023, in order to improve currency circulation in the country and ease pains experienced by Nigerians due to the decision to retire some denominations of the old banknotes after a currency redesign. "The scarcity of Naira has affected every body in a tremendous way" says one market vendor who says she is also unable to receive money transfers. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
