President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday
formally unveiled the new N100
commemorative notes at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja.
The short ceremony which was initially
scheduled for last Wednesday did not hold
then because of the President’s journey to
Burkina Faso.
Vice President Namadi Sambo and the
Central Bank of Nigeria’s Governor, Godwin
Emefiele, joined the President to unveil the
note during the weekly Federal Executive
Council meeting.
Shortly after presenting the note, Emefiele
said it was issued to commemorate the 100
years of the nation’s amalgamation.
He listed some countries that had before
now issued currencies to mark epochal
events to include Morocco, Russia and Costa
Rica among others.
He said the new note was produced with
what he described as most advanced security
features in the world.
Emefiele listed the design platforms on
which the note was made to include
security, durability, attractiveness, cultural
heritage and transformation.
Jonathan lauded the CBN for coming up
with the commemorative note, though it
was coming a bit late since activities
marking the nation’s centenary had been
concluded.
He recalled that commemorative N50 notes
were also introduced to mark the nation’s
50th independence anniversary.

Iweala, also commended the CBN for coming
up with the notes.
She specifically lauded the QRC feature on
the back of the note.

history could be accessed.
The minister also raised questions on the
amount the CBN will use to print the new
notes and whether it would be done locally .
Jonathan however said the questions would
be answered when a memorandum on the
issue is prese
