The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has disclosed that the designs for the N200, N500 and N1,000 notes will be unveiled on Wednesday, November 23, by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“By the special grace of God, tomorrow, which is the 23rd of November 2022, the President has graciously accepted to unveil the new currencies and the new currencies will be unveiled tomorrow at the Federal Executive Chamber by 10 am”, the CBN Governor stated.
