Kaduna, Kogi, Zamfara states drag CBN to court over Naira redesign policy

Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara states have instituted a suit against the Federal Government seeking a restraining order to stop the full implementation of the Naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

In a motion ex-parte filed before the Supreme Court, the three states are praying the court to grant an interim injunction stopping the CBN from ending the timeframe within which the old N200, N500, and N1000 notes will cease to be legal tender.

They submitted that the 10-day extension is insufficient to address the challenges plaguing the policy.
