According to him, at his age, the bank staff should pray to get old as he is. He said he is 82 years old and that he has been banking since 1974.

Since the CBN cashless policy started, Nigerians have been finding it increasingly difficult to access cash for their daily needs.

While the newly introduced Naira notes have remained largely scarce, PoS operators have increased their charges thereby compounding the problem.
