The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has allayed fears of the people, particularly traders, over meeting up with the January 31st deadline for the acceptance of the old N1,000, N500 and N200 notes as legal tender, disclosing commercial banks have been directed to work for 24 hours on the day.
Traders in Ogun State had on Thursday, during a sensitization programme organised by the Apex Bank at Lafenwa Market, Abeokuta, expressed their fear over the feasibility of the deadline for the validity of the old naira notes.
