“All old Naira notes of series 200, 500 and 1000 will cease to be in use from the 31st of January,” First Bank said in a notice.

The CBN had insisted that old notes of N200, N500 and N100 would cease to be in use from January 31.

The governor of the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has said the deadline remains sacrosanct, despite entreaties from different stakeholders that the apex bank should extend the deadline.
