The Supreme Court postponed today’s hearing on the case until February 22 after the State Government joined the issue there. The apex court declared the old notes to still be legal tender when the issue was originally raised on February 8.
That position has not changed. The State Government hereby warns those rejecting the old notes to desist from doing so or face prosecution. It is against the law to reject the old notes as doing so is contrary to the position of the Supreme Court.
Governor Sanwo-Olu urges Lagosians to remain law-abiding and shun mischief-makers who may exploit this temporary situation to promote their anti-people agenda. He is confident that the Judiciary will resolve all the issues around the currency shortage crisis.
