President Buhari Issues Three Statements, Silent On CBN’s Naira Policy
President Muhammadu Buhari has remained silent on the ruling of the Supreme Court directing that the old 200, 500 and 1000 naira notes remain legal tender.
The apex court last week ordered that the old notes should remain legal tender till the 31st of December, 2023.
The Supreme Court last Friday ruled in its lead decision, read by Justice Emmanuel Agim, that Buhari’s authorisation for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to withdraw the old banknotes was illegal.
Despite the ruling of the Supreme Court, President Buhari and the CBN have failed to issue statements on the next step following the court’s judgement.
