The news headline has generated mixed reactions among the Facebook users. Kindly read some of the reactions from Nigerians that commented below the news on Facebook:

Nigeria politicians will go to hibernation for 3 years 4 months and wake up from their lethargy on 6 months to their tenure with commissioning of projects and dusting of abandoned projects like a mouse trap for another chance. Even though some projects are long to medium term, I have always argued that governance should not be tied to aprons of anyone. It should run independent and irrespective of office holder. This doesn't diminish the achievements here commissioned. Congratulations.

Buhari your days as the president of Nigeria is fast approaching, We the masses can't wait to welcome Mr. Peter Obi as the Next president of federal Republic of NIGERIA.

Na Chinese and indians full the place, All great Engineers in Nigeria aren't recognized... What a kantry.

Ahhh! Sanwo-Olu no invite the jagaban of lagos for the event ni?

Why is Tinubu not there?

The New Date For The Expiration Of The Old Money Is Sacrosanct

Nigerianewslite

 A lot of people have been complaining about the date given to stop making use of the old money as the new money is not gotten after deposit.

The CBN has provided January 31 as the expiration date for the use of the old money, and that the new money has been distributed to all the banks and people are yet to get the new redesigned money.

The CBN maintained that the new redesigned money has been distributed to the various banks in Nigeria, and that any bank that doesn't dispense the new redesigned money should be reported as they have sent delegates that will be monitoring the banks.

That is to say that the bank will be giving the new redesigned money to their customers and to anyone that applies for money, and also individuals are still advised to deposit their old money in order not to loose their money finally. 

Anybody that deposits the old money will receive the new redesigned money during withdrawals, people still complain that when they use the new money to buy anything it will not be accepted in most rural areas.
