The Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, has warned commercial banks operating in the State against rejecting the old Naira notes.
Abiodun’s Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, disclosed this on Tuesday through a statement.
According to him, Governor Abiodun gave the warning on Tuesday while addressing market men and women at Itoku Kampala market in Abeokuta, as part of his reelection campaign to Abeokuta North local government areas.
The statement read: “Abiodun’s warning came following the complaints received from the people of the State that commercial banks and some filling stations are rejecting the old Naira notes as a legal tender.
“He noted that as the new Naira notes are not available, commercial banks must accept the old notes to ease the suffering of the people.
“He called on the people to remain calm, assuring that his government is working assiduously to ensure that the present situation is brought under control.”
