Following CBN’s agenda to improve Nigerian currency overall quality standard, the Apex Bank of Nigerian have introduced the Clean Note Policy and Banknotes Fitness Guidelines.
This simply means all the mutilated Naira notes will be call-in by CBN to eradicate bad Naira notes in circulation in Nigeria and as well as circulation the new notes.
How can you help to make this happen?
CBN needs you to deposit all bad Naira notes you have in your custody to the nearest bank to you on or before Monday, September 2, 2019
According to the mail i received from my Bank, overused notes include any Naira note that is now weak to such extent that it could easily tear at further handling or processing without excluding partially or permanently damaged note but still have half of its original size together.

Which is why we have put this together. See how too handle currency with care below.
