Printed Number Of New Notes Unknown – CBN Deputy Governor

 

The Deputy Governor, Financial System Stability, Central Bank of Nigeria, Aisha Ahmad, has told the House of Representatives that she does not know how many notes were printed in the recent redesign of the naira.

The CBN had recently introduced new N200, N500 and N1,000 notes, with concerns that the newly designed denominations are scarce in circulation.

The CBN deputy governor said she did not want to give a wrong figure.

The chamber became rowdy as several members were miffed by her statement.

Some of them revisited the questions.
