The scarcity of the naira caused by the CBN’s  redesign policy has unsettled many Nigerians who for more than two weeks, have been besieging commercial bank branches, forming long queues to access the new naira notes.

Many have complained of hitches in online payment platforms of banks leading to failed transactions. Observers said  the hitches occur because digital platforms are not strong enough to accommodate the surge of electronic transactions in recent times as people resort to online payments in response to scarcity of cash.

Those who reject online payments cite challenges associated with it as reasons.

The CBN official, however, countered the analogy, saying it is “not as bad as to warrant rejection of transfer payments.”
