New 10 naira note
You're referring to the newly introduced N10 note in Nigeria!
Yes, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced a new N10 note on June 27, 2023, as part of its efforts to improve the country's cashless policy and reduce the use of lower denomination notes.
The new N10 note features a portrait of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, a Nigerian statesman and philosopher, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) features a collage of Nigerian cultural symbols, including the Adire cloth, the Yoruba bronze head, and the Nok terracotta figure.
The introduction of the N10 note is expected to reduce the use of coins and smaller denomination notes, making transactions easier and more convenient for Nigerians.
