Mr. Olaoye appealed to the concerned authorities to make available more cash for customers to reduce the untold hardship.
Also corroborating his view, a student in Ilesa, Miss Aisat Adeleke who observed that few banks loaded the ATMS with cash and the dispensing is limited to #5000 or #10000 explained that , she needed to make some payments in school with cash and couldn’t afford to pay the exorbitant charges of POS operators.
In his response, A Banker working with a new generation Bank in Osogbo, who preferred to be anonymous, said Bank officials cannot say when normalcy would return, hence the need for Nigerians to bear with them.
