Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has written to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), demanding details of the amount of new naira notes disbursed to commercial banks.
In the letter dated February 16, 2023, Falana also demanded that the apex bank provide the list of customers who might have withdrawn more than the N100,000 sum approved by the CBN.
Old N200, N500 and N1,000 notes have remained scarce since the naira swap policy came in place but the CBN has maintained that it printed enough new notes, with the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele blaming politicians of hoarding the new notes.
