2007 Currency Issue

In February 2007, the redesigned currency notes; Fifty Naira (N50), Twenty Naira (N20), Ten Naira (N10) and Five Naira (N5) were introduced. The One Naira (N1) and Fifty kobo (50k) coines were also redesigned, while a new N2 coin was introduced. A completely new coin range was issued as part of a major reform of the nations currency structure.

2007 issues with the inclusion of N100, N200, N500 & N1000 Naira notes form today's legal tender issue.

National Clearing System Re-Visited:In January 1995, a revised clearing rule became operational to facilitate effective clearing of financial instruments and shorten the period of clearing. Consequently, inter-state cheque clearing time was reduced from 21 days to 15 days, while intra-state clearing has been reduced from 12 days to 9 days.
