The CBN is concerned about the high rate of counterfeiting of N500 and N1,000 banknotes.
According to the CBN, the bank intends to seize around N3.32 trillion from outside bank vaults in order to seize control of Nigeria’s money supply.

“The integrity of a local legal tender, the efficiency of its supply, and the effectiveness with which it conducts monetary policy are some of the hallmarks of a great Central Bank,” – Emefiele
The CBN criticises public banknote hoarding, claiming that more than 80% of cash in circulation is outside commercial bank vaults.

The CBN instructs all Deposit Money Banks that currently possess existing denominations of cash to immediately begin returning these notes to the CBN.
