Days after the Central Bank of Nigeria issued an ultimatum mandating banks to ensure cash availability at Automated Teller Machines and banking halls, many Nigerians still struggle to access cash.

Customers with debit cards from other banks could only withdraw up to ₦10,000, while those using the bank's cards were allowed a maximum of ₦20,000. Governor Cardoso had vowed that the apex bank would conduct spot checks at Deposit Money Banks and penalize underperforming institutions.
