NIGERIA BANKS TO WORK ON WEEKENDS - CBN

Central Bank of Nigeria

All commercial banks must open for business on Saturdays and Sundays, per instructions from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Additionally, the CBN orders all banks to operate physically in the banking halls and load their automated teller machines (ATMs) on weekends.

Dr. Isa Abdul Mumin, the CBN's acting director of corporate communications, says this on Friday, March 24, 2023 in Abuja.

He claims that the commercial banks had received a sizeable sum of money in various denominations for distribution to their respective customers.

Therefore, he advises Nigerians to exercise patience because the current situation will soon improve once more banknotes enter circulation.
