Naira redesign: atiku calls for ‘slight’ extension of deadline to avert ‘heavy discomfort’ | TheCable

Ebunoluwa OlafusiAtiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , has asked the Central Bank of Nigeria to extend the deadline for the validity of old naira notes.

“The ongoing policy of the CBN to redesign the naira has generated wide reactions across the country and beyond,” he said. “I’m aware of the challenges that farmers and others, like artisans, in remote areas of the country go through in moving cash from remote areas to commercial banks for conversion.

“The January 31st deadline will certainly cause a heavy discomfort on our people and it will be magnanimous on the part of government and regulatory agencies to ease the burden on the people in the public interest.”
