Today on the Techpoint Africa Podcast, our reporters discuss the new withdrawal restrictions imposed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
On Tuesday, December 6, 2022, the CBN issued a new directive to reduce withdrawal at ATMs and PoS terminals to ₦20,000 ($27) per day to further cashless policy. We look at how it will affect citizens, especially those operating in the informal sector.
