In an effort to replenish the economy following a protracted cash shortage that made life tough for millions of Nigerians and residents, the Central Bank of Nigeria has issued more old notes to deposit money banks.
The CBN has started releasing billions of naira to DMBs on Thursday. On Friday, according to bank officials, the CBN once more released to lenders many billions of naira.
Many bank branches reportedly opened throughout the weekend and gave out cash to customers over the counter and through automated teller machines.
As instructed by the apex bank, some banks informed their clients through email that they would be open for business on Saturday and Sunday.
