‘Reject Old Notes, Lose Your Land’ — Ogun Gov Asks Residents To Ignore Buhari

The Ogun State government has threatened to revoke the certificate of occupancy (C of O) of any individual or business that complies with President Muhammadu Buhari’s instruction to stop treating old N1,000 and N500 as legal tenders.

Abiodun joins the likes of governors Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna and Mohammed Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa who have rejected President Buhari’s pronouncement that some naira notes have ceased to be legal tenders in accordance with his administration’s currency redesign and cash swap policy.
