The Central Bank of Nigeria, has set a new directive of a maximum daily payout limit of N20,000, consisting of redesigned Naira notes, to each customer. 

“In line with this resolve, the Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, has directed deposit money banks (DMBs) to commence the payment of the redesigned Naira notes over the counter, subject to a maximum daily payout limit of N20,000. 

“We also admonish members of the public to embrace and adopt other payment channels for their transactions. 

“The Naira is our legal tender and symbol of national pride. Therefore, let us respect it and handle it with care,” CBN said in a circular released by its Director, Corporate Communications, Osita Nwanisobi.
