FG warns against money bouquet ahead of Valentine's Day

 

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has classified “money bouquets” as a form of naira abuse, adding it to offences such as spraying, squeezing, selling, and defacing banknotes. 

Money bouquet is when money is folded to look like a flower petal and then arranged together to create a bouquet. 

The CBN made this known in a flier shared on its Twitter handle that listed forms of abusing the naira. 

The apex bank captioned the post, “It is your civic duty to protect the naira. Report naira abuse today.”

Under the CBN Act, anyone caught tampering with the naira faces a minimum of six months in prison or a fine of at least ₦50,000. 

Nigerians have been urged to protect the naira and report violations as enforcement agencies step up actions against offenders nationwide. 

The CBN also provided toll-free hot-lines through which the apex bank could be reached to report such activities. 

This comes just days before the celebration of Valentine's Day, which sees many display their love by gifting their loved ones money bouquets and other items

NAFDAC says ban on sachet alcohol is to protect children

  The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says its enforcement of the ban on alcoholic beverages in sachets and small plastic or glass bottles is aimed at protecting children and young people and not punishing manufacturers.   In a statement on Thursday, January 29, NAFDAC director-general, Mojisola Adeyeye, said the policy was driven by public health concerns and growing evidence that alcohol packaged in sachets and containers below 200 milliliters has increased underage drinking across the country.   The agency recently began enforcement of the ban following a directive by the senate, with the backing of the ministry of health and social welfare.   According to Adeyeye, the small and cheap packaging of high-alcohol-content drinks makes them “easily accessible, affordable and concealable”, leading to widespread misuse among minors and some commercial drivers.       “This ban is not punitive; it is protective.
