I Am Yet To See New Naira Notes – Ortom Appeals For Deadline Extension

Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom said on Wednesday that he has yet to see the new naira notes.

Ortom, who made the remarks while hosting the governing council of Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University of Agriculture Makurdi in his office, urged the apex bank to listen to Nigerians’ plea to extend the deadline.

The Central Bank of Nigeria insisted on Tuesday that there was no going back on the deadline.

However, the National Assembly called for an extension until July on Tuesday.

Ortom explained that sticking to the Tuesday deadline will aggravate the suffering of every Nigerian.

According to him, “the visible sign is that there is a lot of people particularly in the rural areas to transfer the old notes. As governor, am yet to see the new naira notes.

“This is the reason I will join other Nigerians to look at this critically so that we don’t worsen the condition of our our people.

“It is an understatement to say that our people are suffering Nigeria. People are going through pain in this country things are not okay at all. Am calling on the president to look into it and extend the deadline.
