Redesigned Naira: CBN Finally Addresses Controversial N5000 Notes

By Fakoyejo Olalekan

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has reacted to claims that it plans to release N5000 notes after redesigning the existing lower denominations.

According to the CBN’s Director of Currency Operations, Ahmed Umar, the apex bank is not introducing N5000 notes, contrary to a video circulating on social media app, WhatsApp.

Umar made this known at the three-day workshop organised by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), where he was represented by CBN’s Head of Policy Development and Currency Operations, Amina Halidu-Giwa.

Prime Business Africa gathered that shortly after CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, announced in October that the apex bank would release new naira N200, N500 and N1000 notes, a video showing new N5000 notes surfaced on WhatsApp groups.

This led to claims that the CBN will also release N5000 notes. However, last week, President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled the redesigned N200, N500 and N1000 notes, without the speculated N5000 notes.

Speaking on Umar’s behalf during the event on Tuesday, Halidu-Giwa said the CBN has no knowledge about the N5000 shown in the video, as there’s no plan to increase the number of denominations in circulation.

“We are not introducing any new note because there was noise, some people have seen one N5000 note that we don’t know about.

DID SHE REALLY LOVE ME?

When you've had a really bad day, and you feel as if things could not have gotten any worse, you get her call. She wants to whisper sweet nothings to you right then, but you are so badly pissed off, that you shout at her for no fault of hers. She might have shed a tear on the other end but you are way past the point of caring now. You end the call and go about your business, i.e verbally bashing up other people closest to you. Only when things have cooled down, you spare a thought for her. Regret fills you up, making you want to vomit. Without thinking what you'd say, you dial her number and wait. And hope against hope that things are not damaged beyond repair. She picks it up within three rings, and you hear her sweet voice on the line - "Hello?" You want to pour your heart out to her - tell her how badly you regret scolding her then, and that you never meant any of it. You want to express just how much she means to you and that she should no...

If you can reduce the stress in your marriage, you can improve the quality of life for the whole household.

Figure out how to keep your bills low and manageable, and then create a plan to pay them on time every month. You will feel better when you know your bills are cared for. 2 – Create a Balance of Responsibilities It doesn’t matter if o...
