The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele has said that there was no need to shift the February 10, 2023 deadline.
it was reported that the Supreme Court issued an order of interim injunction restraining the Federal Government and the CBN from enforcing the February 10 deadline for the phasing out of the old naira notes.
