“The commemorative N100 banknote
unveiled recently by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is to be
officially issued into circulation by the Governor, Central Bank of
Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, on Friday, December 19, 2014,” the CBN

The ceremony, billed for the Abuja
branch of the CBN, will be immediately followed by a simultaneous
issuance of the currency across the branches of the central bank,
according to the statement.
