The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),has Nigerians to exchange their old Naira notes at Point of Sale (POS) machines and open Savings accounts.
The CBN Director of Protection, Mrs Rasheedat Mangunu, who gave advice on Wednesday during the monitoring exercise of some POS super-agents in Ilorin, said that in the last week, there had been progressing in the money swap due to their enlightenment talks and accredited POS agents.
According to her,the extension of deadline for spending the old Naira notes had given people more opportunity to exchange their notes and deposit old notes in their accounts.
She implored the people of Kwara, especially those at the rural areas, to make judicious use of the super-agents and open a bank account with less stress.
“People can easily open a bank account through the POS super-agents, with just National Identity Card and save their old money in their accounts, without stress.
“Our super-agents will deposit all your old Naira notes with no charges and your money will be secure in your various bank accounts,” she said.
