Ogun Govt Warns Banks Against Rejecting Old Notes
The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has warned commercial banks working in the state against rejecting old naira notes.
A statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Kunle Somorin, disclosed this on Tuesday.
The governor said this on Tuesday while addressing market men and women at Itoku Kampala market in Abeokuta, as part of his reelection campaign to Abeokuta North local government areas.
The statement read, “Abiodun’s warning came following the complaints received from the people of the state that commercial banks and some filling stations are rejecting the old naira notes as a legal tender.
“He noted that since the new naira notes were not available, commercial banks must accept the old notes to ease the suffering of the people.
“He called on the people to remain calm, assuring that his government was working assiduously to ensure that the present situation was brought under control.”
The statement further maintained that the governor assured that he would reach out to the appropriate authority to improve the power supply to the market.
