The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has extended its nationwide sensitisation and public enlightenment campaign on its naira redesign project to Ekiti state ahead of the January 31st deadline for the old notes of N200, N500 and N1,000 to be taken out of circulation.
Some of the traders in Ekiti used the opportunity of the campaign to appeal to Apex bank to make the new naira notes more available.
