President Goodluck Jonathan has formally unveiled the new N100 notes at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The short ceremony which was initially scheduled for last
Wednesday did not hold then because of the President’s journey to Burkina Faso.
Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Central Bank of
Nigeria’s Governor, Godwin Emefiele, joined the President to unveil the note
during the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.
Shortly after presenting the note, Emefiele said it was
issued to commemorate the 100 years of the nation’s amalgamation.
He listed some countries that had before now issued
currencies to mark epochal events to include Morocco, Russia and Costa Rica
among others.
