Just In, LAGOS IS ON Fire: Protest Is About To Take Place In Some Areas In Lagos Over Scarcity Of Naira Notes

 

Commercial activity has been grounded in some areas in Lagos we hope this do not end up as protesters

Major roads in protest against the nonavailability of redesigned naira notes.

Affected routes include; Ifako Gbagada, Surulere and other routes in Lagos North East local government area.

Aggrieved bank customers lamented the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) inability to live up to its words of making naira notes available to the customers.

It be recalled that CBN had on Thursday directed the payment of N20,000 maximum on the counter. But some of the bank staffers who preferred anonymity maintained that they are yet to get enough funds from Apex bank.

Meanwhile, the Point of Sales (POS) operators have unofficially put their charge rate of N5,000 between N500 and N1,000.

This development, as reliably gathered, has forced the people to take to the streets.

They submitted that most of the Automated Teller Machines (ATM) dispensed between N2,000 and N5,000 maximum.

This is truing the country to something else
