New Naira Notes: No Need Shifting February 10 Deadline –CBN Gov, Emefiele

The Nation had 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.
But Emefiele, during a visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the monetary and currency redesign policy, said shifting the February 10 deadline was needless.
