CBN soon to introduce N5000 note with 3 faces of historic women leaders on it!

published on Thursday, 23 August 2012

So this evening, The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced the introduction of the N5, 000 note. I don't know sha! But I think this is a wrong move. Instead of trying to make the economy better they're introducing a N5000 note.

It's however a good idea seeing as they plan on using the faces of 3 prominent historic late female politicians and activists;

1. Margaret Ekpo: late politician and social mobilizer (1914 - 2006)
2. Hajia Gambo Sawaba: late politician and activist (1933 - 2001)
3. Funmilayo Kuti: lte politician and women's right activist (1900 -1978)

This is contrary to speculation of the use of Nigeria's late former president, Umar Musa Yar'adua's face.
The note will be launched next year as well as the conversion of the N5, N10 and N20 notes to coins!
