Instead of redesigning bank notes, according to Sowore, the CBN should raise the value of the naira.

In a tweet, Sowore wrote: “Central Bank of Nigeria to redesign banknotes 200, 500 and 1000 notes instead of boosting the value of the Naira. Jokers!

“Me: It is time to fire the CBN Governor, Emefiele #WeCantContinueLikeThis”

Eko Hot Blog had earlier reported that the apex bank would unveil the redesigned naira notes on December 15, 2022.

Emefiele said the new currencies to be launched are N1,000, N500 and N200 notes.
