The CBN released a statement hours after President Buhari denied ordering Godwin Emefiele, or the Attorney-General, Malami, to disobey the apex court’s ruling.

The CBN spokesperson, Isa Abdulmumin, on Monday, says the old notes remain legal tender until December 31, 2023.

See what some Nigerians are saying about the new development:
