The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has commenced sensitization of market women and traders in Akure on the new naira notes.

The acting Branch Controller of CBN in Ondo State, Mr Giwa Ademola enjoined traders not to reject the new naira notes following reports that some traders were insisting on old notes in a bid to avoid fakes of the new notes.

He said the notes had become legal tender and it was now an offense to reject them.

Mr Ademola also told the traders to ensure they learn to differentiate between original and fake notes.

He reiterated that the old naira notes would cease to be legal tender on the 31st of January, 2023.

Two traders, Mrs Banke Omotosho and Oluwatosin Adesida applauded the CBN for the sensitization, noting that they were now better informed.

A resident of Akure, Mrs Blessing Gold, however, called for extension of the deadline to enable more people access the new naira notes.
