The Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has called on commercial banks to approach the apex bank branches across the country to pick up the new naira notes.<\/p>\n

Emefiele made the call when the apex bank took its sensitisation tour on the adoption of the newly redesigned naira notes to Computer Village, Ikeja, on Wednesday in Lagos.<\/p>\n

He said that the new naira notes were in the apex bank\u2019s vaults awaiting pick up by the commercial banks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been calling upon the banks to approach the Central Bank of Nigeria across the country to come and pick up the new notes; we have even waived some of the conditionality for accessing currency notes in order to accommodate the banks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe banks were being given slots before, but now the Central Bank of Nigeria is bending over backward to accommodate the demands of the banks in order to service them, so that they can service you and so that everybody will have access to the new naira notes,\u2019\u2019 Emefiele said.<\/p>\n

Emefiele who was represented by Mr Kofo Salam-Alada, Director, Legal Services Department, CBN, said that the apex bank was seriously working to ensure that the new notes permeated everywhere.<\/p>\n

He said that the apex bank was currently going round commercial banks to monitor banks and their Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) to ensure that they stopped paying customers the new naira notes over the counter but via the ATMs.<\/p>

Emefiele said: \u201cpart of what we are doing is that we have monitors going around the banks now, I have been to some ATMs this morning and I\u2019ve lodged a report and I\u2019ve spoken to the management of the various banks.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said that penalties await any bank which failed to come and pick up the new notes and failure to lodge money into their ATM machines.<\/p>\n

He assured the marketers that the experiences they were having would soon be sorted out.<\/p>\n

Emefiele urged them to call these numbers- 08176657641, 08176657642, 08176656721, 07080650791, and send messages to\u00a0newnaira@cbn.gov.ng, \u00a0should they have any problem accessing the new notes.<\/p>\n

Emefiele reiterated that the Jan. 31 deadline for the submission of the old naira notes was sacrosanct, urging people to go and deposit their old notes and not to be caught unaware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
