The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has directed all commercial banks to open for operation on Saturdays and Sundays.
CBN also directs all Banks to load their Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) as well as conduct physical operations in the banking halls through the weekends.
The Acting Director, Corporate Communications Department of the CBN, Dr. Isa AbdulMumin, states this in Abuja, on Friday, March 24, 2023
He says a substantial amount of money, in various denominations, had been received by the commercial banks for onward circulation to their respective customers.
He, therefore, urges Nigerians to be patient as the current situation would ease soon with the injection of more banknotes into circulation.
