Nigerian one thousand-naira note ( ₦ 1000 or NGN 1000) is a denomination of the Nigerian currency. The one thousand-naira note was introduced in October 2005.[1] It is currently the highest Naira denomination.

On 12 October 2005, Olusegun Obasanjo launched the ₦ 1000 note.[2] A redesign, really just a color scheme change, was introduced in late 2022 which resulted in some cash scarcity and hardship for citizens. [3][4][5]
