The Central Bank of Nigeria has released emergency telephone numbers where Nigerians could report Point of Sales agents selling new naira notes or charging above N200 for withdrawal.
Mr Joseph Omayuku, the Director, CBN Governor’s Department, made this known during a briefing with newsmen in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital.
While warning syndicates engaging in sharp practices to desist forthwith, Omayuku advised members of the public to report erring PoS agents by reaching out to the CBN contact centre on 07002255226; Telephone Ext: 711025 – 7; contactcbn@cbn.gov.ng and its social media handles.
The scarcity of the new naira notes has been biting Nigerians so hard, with many rejecting the old notes as legal tender, while some state governors have resolved to sue the Federal Government for the challenges experienced in their respective states.
