The banks are not loading enough money in their ATMs because the CBN is also not giving them money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the CBN is not ready for this exercise. They should go back to the drawing board and do the needful to ease the suffering of the common man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Babangida added that, \u201ceven the naira swap and ten days extension announced by the CBN is going to be defeated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only ten local governments out of 27 in the State is reported to have functional banks.<\/p>\n<p>The rural communities are in untold hardship as they lack access to any financial institution for exchanging their old note with new ones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jigawa State Governor, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar has tackled the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, over the persistent scarcity of the redesigned Naira notes in commercial banks.
