CBN warns Kano traders against mishandling Naira








原文原文 / Original Text

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has urged traders and other residents in Kano State to handle the naira with care, saying improper handling of the currency increases the cost of replacing soiled and mutilated notes.

The apex bank made the call when it commenced a sensitisation campaign across major markets in Kano to encourage traders and members of the public to treat the naira with dignity.

Speaking during the exercise at Galadima Market, a representative of the CBN Currency and Operations Department, Ibrahim Yahya, said the naira was a symbol of Nigeria’s sovereignty and national pride and should therefore be handled properly.

Yahya said the CBN and the Federal Government spent substantial resources replacing notes that become dirty, soiled or mutilated as a result of poor handling.

“By handling naira carefully, we are extending the lifespan of that naira and, by extension, saving a lot of money in terms of replacement of the naira,” he said.

He said the CBN chose markets as the starting point of the campaign because of their strategic importance in cash transactions, particularly in Kano, which he described as a major commercial centre.
