Traders union lauds Mutawalle’s decision to arrest those rejecting old naira notes

The Amalgamated Union of Northern Traders, on Saturday in Sokoto lauded the directives given by Gov. Bello Mutawalle of Zamfara state, for security men to arrest anybody who rejects the old naira notes during transaction.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gov. Mutawalle was among the Governors who dragged the Federal Government to the Supreme Court, seeking a restraining order to stop the Naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

NAN also reports that the Supreme Court on Wednesday halted the CBN from implementing the Feb. 10 deadline for the validity of old notes as legal tender.
