The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN ) has described as fake the news circulating saying that the CBN has been redirected to reissue all old notes of N100, N200, N500, and N1000 and that the N500 and N1000 would be valid for 70 days, meaning that their validity will expire on May 1, 2023.
The director, the Corporate Communications Department of the CBN, Osita Nwanisobi, has urged Nigerians to disregard the news, insisting that it did not emanate from the CBN.
