As the nation approaches the festive season, Nigerians take to social media to express their frustration over the persistent shortage of Naira.
This echoes a similar challenge faced in 2022 and is rooted in the aftermath of the Naira redesign policy enacted by the CBN between December 2022 and February 2023.
Despite an initial extension to December 31, 2023, the government later revoked it, leading to renewed difficulties in accessing cash, notably affecting ATM services across Deposit Money Banks nationwide. With Christmas and New Year celebrations looming, citizens are demanding swift government intervention to alleviate the ongoing financial strain.
