The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had fixed today, Friday, February 10, as the deadline for the use of the old banknotes as legal tender in the country. The apex bank decided last year to start circulating the new notes, giving people until 31 January to get rid of their old ones. The deadline was later moved to February 10. Sequel to the non-availability of the new banknotes, some governors approached the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court, seeking an order for the suspension of the deadline.
