CBN Affirms ₦100 Banknotes Are Still Legal Tender

CBN Affirms ₦100 Banknotes Are Still Legal Tender

The Central Bank of Nigeria has clarified that both the standard and commemorative ₦100 notes remain valid for all transactions nationwide. The commemorative note issued for Nigeria’s centenary did not replace the existing bill. Rejecting the standard note breaches the CBN Act and undermines confidence in the naira. The bank warns it will take enforcement action against anyone who refuses to accept the standard ₦100 note. Nigerians are urged to transact with all CBN-issued banknotes.

Have you experienced any vendors insisting on the commemorative ₦100 over the standard note since this clarification?

It's surprising how many people still reject the old ₦100 despite the CBN's clear statement about its validity.

Maybe some shop owners just prefer collecting new designs, but refusing legal tender feels unjustified under the law.

To avoid disputes, it helps to carry small amounts of both standard and commemorative ₦100 notes during transactions.
