He said, “Branches of commercial banks will operate on Saturdays and Sundays to attend to customers’ cash needs.”
He added that the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele would personally lead teams to monitor the level of compliance by the banks.
The CBN governor urged Nigerians to be patient, saying the current situation would ease soon with the injection of more banknotes into circulation.
This is coming after the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) directed its members to shut down the offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) nationwide over naira scarcity.
