Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has berated the maltreatment of residents of the state by banks which refused to collect old N500 and N1,000 notes.
A statement signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, lamented the pains and suffering of the people of Osun State over the action of the banks.
The governor revealed that he was aware of the many complaints of the citizens over banks’ refusal of old naira deposits and the attendant negative consequences of such action in society.
