Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Point of Sale, PoS, operators in Calabar, Cross River State, have increased their charges by 100 per cent for all transactions following the paucity of naira notes in the state.<\/p>\n

The operators confirmed the development in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Calabar on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

They blamed the increase on difficulties in obtaining cash from banks.<\/p>\n

According to NAN, charges for N5,000 and N10,000 withdrawals, which were formerly N100 and N200, respectively, have been increased to N200 and N400.<\/p>\n

Ms Eno Umoh, an operator, asked for patience over the current charges, saying they should not be blamed for the development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are simply trying to remain afloat in business and ensure we continue to serve our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand the present economic realities but we are paying so much to get cash to keep the business running.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not all about profit making as people would think,\u201d Umoh said.<\/p>\n
