The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has extended the deadline for the use of the old notes till February 10.
CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, announced the extension in a statement signed on Sunday morning.e
Recall that, Emefiele has been making headlines over his refusal to shift on the January 31st deadline given to Nigerians on the use of Old Naira notes.
Consequently, the Apex Bank has directed all banks to stop issuing old notes and only distribute the new naira notes.
Before now, there have been several agitations for an extension to the deadline from all quarters.
To this effect, the CBN Governor met with President Buhari in Daura earlier today.
