Recall that last week the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reshared a video showing a sugarcane seller positioning a POS machine on his wheelbarrow saying “There are no boundaries to going cashless!”
Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has vowed to prosecute Nigerians selling, spraying, and abusing the naira.
The apex bank made this known in a statement issued by its spokesman, Osita Nwanisobi, in Abuja on Thursday.
The CBN warned Nigerians against selling, and abusing the naira, stating that the warning was necessitated by the activities of persons who sell the new notes and those who abuse the currency at social functions.
