The CBN yesterday insisted there would be no going back on the January 31 deadline for phasing out the use of the old naira notes.
Team Leader, CBN Monitoring Team Group C, Owugar Comfort Akinbode, reiterated this while answering questions from journalists in Makurdi, Benue State Capital.
She said: “We want compliance in all the states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory. That’s why our team is here. We want the money to get to the masses; that is why we are very interested in this exercise, especially to check their ATMs, to see if they’re dispensing the new notes.”
She said the pay points of the banks visited, including Access and Union Banks were dispensing the new notes.
