Accept Old Naira Notes Or Make New Notes Available To People, Gov Adeleke Tells Commercial Banks

Governor Ademola Adeleke  has warned commercial banks  in Osun  state against hoarding of new naira notes and rejection of the old naira notes.

In a statement issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com  on Wednesday by his spokesman, Mr Olawale Rasheed, the  Governor lamented the hardships that the people had been made to face while urging all stakeholders to reach consensus and find a way of putting an end to the said hardships.

 Adeleke, who decried rejection of the old naira notes by the commercial banks, urged the financial institutions to be compassionate by either making the new notes available or continuing to accept  the old  naira  notes.

‘I am pained by the current hardships inflicted on our people. Daily living has become a nightmare. All sectors of the society are facing untold hardship. I call on the bank chiefs to have mercy on the poor, the middle class and even the rich.

We must make the new naira notes available or we continue to accept  the old naira  notes. We must stop punishing the citizens even when they have committed no sin.

I hereby urge the commercial banks in Osun state to be humane. We should not encourage insurrection against the government by the citizens through unfair policies and actions.

Commercial banks in Osun state must meet the demands of the people for new naira notes. Those commercial banks that have stopped receiving old naira notes must reverse this policy. Our people are being pushed to the wall’ the governor warned-   Team@orientactualmags.com
