Osinbajo laments naira scarcity, urges banks to deploy agents to rural areas

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday expressed concern over the hardship faced by Nigerians due to the scarcity of the new Naira notes.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in October last year announced the redesign of the N200, N500, and N1000 notes.

The apex bank last Sunday extended the deadline for the naira swap till February 10 after pressure from Nigerians.
