Old ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 notes valid beyond December – CBN

The apex bank made the clarification in a statement by its acting Director of Corporate Communications, Sidi Hakamaon, on the night of Thursday, October 24, 2024.

The reaction followed renewed rumours making the rounds, claiming that the three series of naira would be withdrawn from circulation by December.

The CBN described such reports as a calculated falsehood intended to disrupt the nation’s payment system, insisting that the old notes would remain valid indefinitely.
