The Coalition of Civil Society Groups has threatened to shut down commercial banks that refuse to make the new naira notes available to Nigerians.
“As the conscience of the society, we rise to warn those involved in the sabotage effort to desist and join hands in ensuring that the extension given will be well-utilised. We will not hesitate to shut down any bank henceforth fingered in this sabotage process.
“While the generality of the people embraced the policy, we are shocked to note our ruling class and a section of the country opposing to it and fighting it shamelessly without iota of patriotism for the country. Of note is the sabotage role played by some of the commercial banks. Hoarding of the new naira notes is now a norm to corrupt bankers and their allies. We will monitor independently activities of these banks to ensure that they comply with the CBN guidelines.
