Validity of Nigeria's Old Naira Notes Extended to December 2023Nigeria's Supreme Court has ruled that old banknotes remain legal tender until the end of the year, bringing relief to millions affected by a chaotic redesign of the naira notes. The court held that the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari for the redesign of the new notes and the withdrawal of the old notes without due consultation, is invalid. Buhari directed the central bank to release old 200 naira banknotes back into circulation, to run concurrently with the new ones until April 10, 2023. However, he said that old 500 and 1,000 naira banknotes are no longer valid and must be taken to the central bank through designated channels. Many people were unable to get cash to pay for food and slept outside banks. A January 31 deadline initially set for ending the legal tender status of the old Naira notes was extended to February 10, as the supply of the new notes fell far short of the volume needed by citizens to meet their most basic needs across the country. On February 3, three state governments - Kaduna, Kogi, and Zamfara - citing the hardships the continued scarcity of naira notes brought to their people - sued the federal government at the Supreme Court for a reversal of the policy. The court issued an interim order suspending the implementation of the deadline set by the federal government and directed that the old and new Naira notes should continue to circulate pending the resolution of the case. In November 2022, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) launched new banknotes that came into circulation on December 15, 2022. The CBN said the redesign was meant to address insecurity, tackle counterfeiting and force excess cash back into the banking system.
