In other news, Kanyi Daily reported that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Wednesday, announced an upward review of its cash withdrawal limits directive.
This comes as a result of pressure from many Nigerians and lawmakers.
The new review means that individuals can now withdraw N500,000 cash weekly and corporate entities can now withdraw up to N5 million cash across all channels including Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Point Of Sale (PoS) terminals.
