Old Naira Notes Legal Tender Till December 31 – Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has said that old naira notes will be legal tender till December 31.

DAILY POST report that the Supreme Court on Friday ordered that the old naira notes must remain in circulation till December 31 this year.

The apex court ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN to allow both the old naira notes and the new ones to circulate side by side till the end of the year.

All directives issued by President Muhammadu Buhari in respect of the naira re-designing and circulation were voided and set aside on grounds of illegalities and abuse of executive powers.

The apex court took a swipe at President Buhari for disobeying its interim order of February 8 to the effect that the old naira is allowed to be in circulation.
