    “For information, indeed, we are no longer waiting till December 15th to unveil and begin to release the new notes.

    “By the special grace of God, tomorrow (today), which is the 23rd of November 2022, the President has graciously accepted to unveil the new currencies and the new currencies will be unveiled tomorrow at the Federal Executive Chamber by 10am.”
