Have You Seen The New 100Naira Note?

President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday formally unveiled the new N100 commemorative notes at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

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. ( Oh really? That is nice o)

'He listed some countries that had before now issued currencies to mark epochal events to include Morocco, Russia and Costa Rica among others.' (such great role models for Nigeria don't you think?)

The code, if scanned with smart phones, leads users to a website where the nation’s history could be accessed.(Fancy huh)

The minister also raised questions on the amount the CBN will use to print the new notes and whether it would be done locally.(Good question.)

Jonathan however said the questions would be answered when a memorandum on the issue is presented to the council.

What do you think about this? Is this necessary at this time in our country?
