CBN cautions Nigerians to ‘be wary of fake news’ after Aisha Buhari’s social media post on 500, 1000 Naira notes
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has refuted claims that it has directed commercial banks to recirculate old 500 and 1000 naira notes.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha on Tuesday, posted a statement that claimed the CBN had ordered the recirculation of the old notes on her Instagram page.
The supposed CBN statement posted by Mrs. Buhari was credited to Osita Nwanisobi, Director of CBN Corporate Communications Department.
