President Goodluck Unveils the New N100 Notes


The new N100 commemorative notes was formally unveiled by President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Owing to the fact that the ceremony was initially scheduled for last week Wednesday but was postponed due to the president's visit to Burkina Faso.

The President was joined by the Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Central bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele during the Federal Executive Council meeting.

Emefiele said the notes was issued to commemorate the nation's 100 years of amalgamation. He was however praised by President Goodluck, who said though it came late when the nation had already concluded the centenary celebration, but its still a right step to take.

Questions also arises from the Minister for Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as to where the notes will be printed and how much it's going to cost for the production. But Jonathan however said the questions will be answered when a memorandum on the issue is presented to the council.

Noted by the finance minister was the QRC feature engraved on the back of the note which, if scanned with smart phones, leads users to a website where the nation’s history could be accessed.
