A customer who visited a commercial bank in Ikeja, Lagos to withdraw N50,000 cash was paid with the old naira notes. The customer noticed that others were also paid in old naira notes. He complained to the cashier and asked why the new notes introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over four months ago were not being paid out.
The frustrated-looking cashier replied that the bank had no control over the type of currency supplied as most of the supplies from CBN were in old notes.
Many Nigerians are asking what happened to the new naira notes introduced by the CBN which had caused so much hardship and grounded economic activities in the country, until the Supreme Court came to the rescue.
