The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says the naira is one of the strongest currencies in the world, urging Nigerians to handle with integrity.
The CBN said this when it hosted its flagship sensitisation event, the CBN Fair, in Lagos, in a bid to reinforce public trust in Nigeria’s currency and deepen financial inclusion, spotlighting the importance of preserving the dignity of the naira and embracing alternative payment channels.
At the heart of the campaign was Paul Onuoha, a senior official from the CBN’s Currency Operations Department, who led an interactive session on identifying counterfeit notes and understanding the security features embedded in the naira. His presentation underscored the resilience of Nigeria’s currency against forgery.
