On Monday, February 20, 2023, some people of the state got five pieces of old 1,000 naira notes in a white packet, just days after Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun said that the old 500 and 1000 naira notes are still valid.
Even though some people told the women in the popular video that the free old naira notes were still considered legal cash in Ogun State, they were dubious of their legitimacy.
