In Pictures: Heres Nigeria’s Newly Redesigned Naira Notes

President Buhari has today launched the newly redesigned naira notes. The launch of the newly redesigned naira notes took place at the State House in Abuja. Below are pictures of the new naira notes that will replace the old designs effective immediately.

What Changed?

While it appears a new colour change was effected on the newly redesigned naira notes, there however appears not to be any huge difference from the old naira notes. This has also caused many Nigerians to query what exactly changed.

Reactions From Nigerians

As is expected, Nigerians have been reacting to the newly redesigned naira notes. Some of the comments monitored by Exclusive Africa quered why the arabic inscriptions on the naira notes were still there, while others queried the look. Here are some of the top comments:

@Blackbe7os
Why is the money looking like all these East African country’s currency. Why color overshadow d currency itself

@obiremiodunayo
So you people just changed the ink in the printer and that’s “redesign”?

@nokomy
Nice ☺️👍 leverages available from these changes should be guarded and protected against all criminal intentions…. let us have access to these new notes across all the local banks.

@MarvinOfficial0

@Olorunjuwonlo30
The CBN governor did not know what is next to do at all, so what is significant in what the CBN have done in changing the naira now?
