President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday in Daura, Katsina State, approved a 10-day extension of the deadline for the swapping of currency to new notes.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), who confirmed this to journalists in Daura, Katsina State, revealed that the new deadline is now Feb. 10.

Emefiele, who was in Daura on Sunday morning, had a closed door meeting with the Buhari, where he obtained the approval.

He said Nigerians, who were yet to change their Naira notes from the old to new ones, ”now have an opportunity to do so.”

The apex bank’s governor, however, cautioned that people must utilise the opportunity because the deadline would not be extended again.

Before the current decision to extend the deadline, the CBN had fixed Jan. 31 as the deadline for the legitimacy of the old Naira notes.

The redesigned Naira notes, comprising N200, N500 and N1,000, became legal tender on Dec. 15, 2022, after they were unveiled by Buhari on Nov. 23, 2022, in Abuja.

Reports by correspondents of NAN across the country on Saturday indicated that traders and business owners were asking their constomers to pay with new notes.

It was also discovered that some of the Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) across states including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were still dispensing the old Naira notes,  while there were long queues at few ATMs dispensing the redesigned Naira notes.

Some banks dispensing the new notes had configured their ATMs to dispense N5,000 or N10,000 per transaction.

Also, some Point of Sale (PoS) operators were still paying with old Naira notes,  while some who had the redesigned Naira notes increased their charges by 100 to 200 per cent. (NAN)
