The CBN highlighted this due to reports of anxiety among some members of the public over the legality or otherwise of old Naira banknotes.
It advised members of the public to accept all CBN-issued banknotes currently in circulation and guard against panic withdrawals and reaffirmed that there is sufficient stock of currency notes to facilitate normal economic activities.
However, the apex bank urged members of the public to continue to embrace alternative modes of payment in order to reduce the pressure on the use of physical cash
