Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Central Bank of Nigeria said that both old and new notes are now legal tender.<\/p>\n

The Acting Director of Corporate Communications CBN, Dr Isa Abdulmumin disclosed this on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He affirmed that commercial banks have started issuing both the old and new notes to their customers.<\/p>\n

But insisted that the apex bank is yet to issue an official statement.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cBanks are paying old notes as well as new notes. They are all legal tender.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, the CBN has not issued an official statement on the issue. Anyone banks give to you, you can collect. We just want to make life easy for Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n
