Yemi Cardoso has trashed Emefiele’s old Naira notes legality deadline and declared old notes are to remain legal tender indefinitely.

 

Newsonline Nigeria reports that Yemi Cardoso’s Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has stated that the old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes are to remain legal tenders indefinitely.

 

While new currency notes were introduced last year with the old ones set to cease as legal tenders, the apex bank on Tuesday extended “the legal tender status deadline of the old design of N200, N500 and N1,000 denominations, ad infinitum.”

“This is in line with international best practices and to forestall a repeat of earlier experiences,” a statement signed by Isa AbdulMumin, Director, Corporate Communications, said.

 

“Thus, all banknotes issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in accordance with Section 20(5) of the CBN Act 2007, will continue to remain legal tender, ad infinitum, even beyond the initial December 31, 2023, deadline. The Central Bank of Nigeria is working with the relevant authorities to vacate the subsisting court ruling on the same subject.”

 

“Accordingly, all CBN branches across the country will continue to issue and accept all denominations of Nigerian banknotes, old and redesigned, to and from deposit money banks (DMBS).

 

“The general public is enjoined to continue to accept all Naira banknotes (old or redesigned) for day-to-day transactions and handle these banknotes with utmost care, to safeguard and protect the lifecycle of the banknotes.

 

“Also, the general public is encouraged to embrace alternative modes of payment, e-channels, for
day-to-day transactions,” it said
