A recent report by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reveals that foreign contractors are responsible for 65 percent of Nigeria's approved banknote production in 2025. This statistic raises concerns about the effectiveness of the government-owned Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Plc (NSPM), which is intended to handle domestic currency production. The CBN's Annual Report highlights the ongoing reliance on international firms for a significant portion of the country's currency needs. The situation reflects broader issues within Nigeria's financial and manufacturing sectors, including the challenges faced by local industries.
