Naira is one of the trending conversations online as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari finally unveils new N200, N500 and N1,000 notes.
Today, November 23, 2022, Buhari unveiled the new naira notes before the federal executive council (FEC) meeting at the state house, in Abuja.
Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (BN), was in attendance during the unveiling ceremony.
Note that on October 26, 2022, the CBN announced a plan to redesign some naira notes, saying the action was taken in order to take control of the currency in circulation.
While the new notes have been unveiled today, as from January 31, 2023, the old notes will cease to be legal tender. The newly unveiled naira notes will be in circulation from December 15, 2022, according to the CBN.
However, the new Naira notes have generated mixed reactions among Nigerians including the celebrities as many blast the Nigerian government most especially the CBN over inability to employ expert to redesign the naira notes as they concluded that all they do was just colour grading.
