NACCIMA DG, Obadimu, canvasses for N5,000 notes instead of Naira redesign

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) should have introduced N5,000 notes to avoid the hardship Nigerians are facing due to the Naira redesign, the Director-General of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (NACCIMA), Sola Obadimu, has said.

According to NACCIMA DG in a report by NAN on Monday, embarking on the currency redesign was a bad move by the apex bank.

Recall that the head of the central bank, Godwin Emefiele, disclosed in October 2022 that the N200, N500 and N1,000 banknotes would be redesigned to mop up the N2.7 trillion in circulation.
