A financial expert has advocated for proper handling of the nation’s legal tender.

The expert, Mrs. Debola Osibogun stated this while speaking with Radio Nigeria in Ibadan.

Mrs. Osibogun condemned some factors responsible for the circulation of mutilated Naira notes, which include writing on the money, hawking at a premium, spraying at parties, among others.

Mrs. Osibogun advised Nigerians to cultivate the habit of the sequential arrangement of money in their purses, wallets and other proper areas to help maintain a proper and neat appearance of the notes.

She urged Nigerians to always approach commercial banks with their rough or torn Naira notes for an exchange to neat ones.

It would be recalled that the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, had cautioned against mal-handling of the Naira notes with a stern warning that culprits would be prosecuted, fined or jailed for six months.
