In an interview carried out by myschoolnewstv, a student known as Uchenna Emmanuel complained about not being able to focus on his academics due to the stress of changing the old naira notes since Wednesday.
He said “this has really been so stressful. Since on Wednesday, I have been trying to change my old naira notes and it is so hectic. I have not been able to concentrate on my school activities because I am trying to deposit the money in the bank”
Another student confirmed this when interviewed.
She said “It is not easy. I have been unable to deposit my school fees since yesterday morning, I have to go to the bank by 6.00 am to deposit the money”
A student known as chidera also lamented over not being able to get the new naira note after waiting in a bank cue for several hours. She complained “I have been here since morning and I am not able to go inside the bank. We have been standing outside the bank for the past six hours. After writing our names which were about 400, it was canceled. Lots of people have been waiting to get the new naira notes. Both the young and the old. I feel the new naira notes are not in circulation”
She also lamented over her inability to spend the old naira notes as shop owners and retailers rejected the money.
