House of reps orders CBN to revert Its new policy on cash withdrawal limit

Legit.ng earlier reported that the house of representatives has asked the CBN to revert its directive asking to limit cash withdrawal for individuals to N100,000 and organisations to N500,000 per week.

Some lawmakers have argued that the new directive by the CBN will kill small businesses and affect the economy of rural areas with limited banks.

The lower chamber, therefore, ordered the governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele, to make himself available for the house on Thursday.
