The apex bank in the survey made available on its X
(formerly Twitter) handle asked Nigerians: “What is the situation on naira
availability in your location?” requesting Nigerians to “Kindly fill out this
Survey to help us serve you better.”
The online Google survey form in which the CBN listed the 36
states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, contains
questions including: “Are you experiencing cash shortage in your location? In
which specific location are you experiencing cash shortage? And which financial
institution have you recently withdrawn money from?”
Other questions in the form are: “Was it an Over-the-Counter
or ATM withdrawal? What was the over-the-counter withdrawal limit at this
financial institution? and What was the ATM withdrawal limit at this financial
institution?
Residents of Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi and other states in the
Southeast region of Nigeria had earlier lamented that cash scarcity had
paralysed their businesses in the region.
They lamented that the scarcity of cash in banks had
adversely affected economic activities in the region as they struggled to buy
foodstuffs and other items for the Yuletide.
Visits to commercial banks in Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Abia and
Anambra states showed that banks had run out of cash in their Automated Teller
Machines (ATMs).
Some of the residents who spoke to SaharaReporters lamented
that the cash scarcity in commercial banks had complicated their financial
situation which was already bad.
They lamented that despite the assurances of the Central
Bank of Nigeria, there was no adequate cash in circulation.
