Despite Naira Swap Deadline Extension, Customers Besiege ATMs For Cash Business
Many ATMs visited by LEADERSHIP in major parts of Lagos were crowded with bank customers seeking to make withdrawals.
“Even when I went to the bank to make withdrawal, I was told that there was no cash, both old and new notes. I went to three banks and it was the same story.” Johnson lamented. “I have been waiting for over 40 minutes just to withdraw money from the ATM. I am not sure the 10-day extension by the CBN will work. My advice to the CBN is that they should allow cash flow into the system. There are no new N200 and N500 series, but if they become available, everything will return to normal,” he pointed out.
Another bank customer at Ojodu area of Lagos State, Anthony Nwosu described the whole process as baffling and do not think it has helped the average Nigerian at all. Similarly, a pensioner, Margaret Essien, described the whole process as stressful as she has been having migraines and needed to get drugs.
