CBN Comptroller Warns Against Naira Sale

Branch Comptroller of the Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN), Port Harcourt, Mr. Tom George Ibiso, has cautioned members of the public against the selling of the Nigerian currencies, the Naira.

Ibiso said this in an interview with newsmen shortly after being inducted as fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Corporate Administration of Nigeria in Port Harcourt.

The induction took place during the 23rd Annual General Meeting of the institute in Port Harcourt.

“I encourage the public, please do not go about selling currencies that we give out for use”.

He also called on marketers to put the nation’s currencies into judicious use.

“I will appeal to marketers, please use it consciously so that we don’t keep changing our currencies over and over”, he said.

Ibiso, who commended the institute for the award, said the gesture will spur him to greater heights as far as his work was concerned in the CBN.

According to him, he would ensure the availability of the currencies: “I will make sure that currencies are as many  everywhere, that Banks are being given currencies and I encourage the public to not go about selling these currencies that we give out”.

The CBN Port Harcourt Branch Comptroller, who said he has been in public service for a long time, described the award as a big surprise, pledging not to disappoint the public.
