President Muhammadu Buhari on February 3 asked Nigerians to give him seven days to resolve the scarcity of the new naira notes.
Buhari made the request at a meeting with the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors in Abuja.
He said: “Some banks are inefficient and only concerned about themselves. Even if a year is added to this exercise, the problems won’t go away.
“I will revert to the CBN and the Minting Company. There will be a decision one way or the other in the remaining seven days of the 10-day extension.”
