New 1000 naira note

You're referring to the newly introduced N1,000 note in Nigeria!

Yes, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced a new N1,000 note on June 29, 2022, as part of its efforts to improve the country's cashless policy and reduce the use of lower denomination notes.

The new N1,000 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 new note is expected to reduce the use of smaller denomination notes, promote cashless transactions, and improve the overall efficiency of the financial system in Nigeria.
