Three days after, President Muhammadu Buhari and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are yet to respond to the Supreme Court ruling making the old naira notes legal tender until December 31, 2023.

The apex court gave the ruling on Friday, nullifying Federal Government’s decision to stop the old N500 and N1,000 notes from being legal tender, which took effect on February 10.

Nearly a month after the majority of the old notes were mopped out of circulation, the challenge of cash squeeze persists, as new notes have remained elusive.

Following widespread condemnation of the policy and its accompanying pains on Nigerians, President Buhari addressed Nigerians on February 16, directing that the old N200 be returned into circulation to alleviate the hardship faced by citizens.
