However, Omokri has come out to criticize those who had shown dissatisfaction with the appearance of the Naira notes.

Taking to his Twitter handle, he wrote, “The Naira was not redesigned for beauty. It was redesigned for economic and security reasons. And it achieved exactly that. Naira appreciated. Bandits were flummoxed. The dollar is powerful, but not beautiful. Emefiele and the CBN board deserve kudos, not hubris!”
