New Notes: Kaduna, Kogi, Zamfara Govts Drag FG, CBN To Court

The governments of Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara have dragged the Federal government before the Supreme Court, seeking a restraining order to stop the full implementation of the policy.

Worried by the effects the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s naira redesign policy is having on the residents of their states.

In a motion ex-parte filed on their behalf by their lawyer, AbdulHakeem Uthman Mustapha (SAN) obtained by News Point Nigeria, Monday morning, the three northern states are urging the apex court to grant them an interim injunction stopping the Federal Government either by itself or acting through the CBN, the commercial banks or its agents from carrying out its plan of ending the timeframe within which the now older versions of the 200, 500 and 1000 denominations of the Naira may no longer be legal tender on February 10, 2023.

More details shortly…
