METRO New currency: FCTA takes sensitisation campaign to monarchs in 17 Chiefdoms

By Stanley Onyekwere

Just six days to the expiration of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) January 31st deadline for the old N1,000, N500 and N200 Naira notes to cease to be in circulation, the FCT Administration has stepped up sensitisation of residents especially rural dwellers across the 17 Chiefdoms of Abuja, the nation’s capital territory.

In particular, the FCTA through its Department of Reforms Coordination and Service Improvement (RCSI), yesterday took the awareness campaign targeted at further dissemination of the information about the CBN’s new currency policy to the residents especially those at the grassroots level, to traditional rulers across the 17 Chiefdoms of the FCT.
