President Muhammadu Buhari’s silence on the Friday’s Supreme Court decision, which nullified the ban on use of the old N200, N500 and N1000 banknotes as legal tenders, has put Lagosians on the edge. To play safe, they said that they would not accept the old banknotes, except N200, until the President speaks on the apex court decision.
In a unanimous decision by a seven-member panel of Justices, the court had ordered that the old banknotes shall continue to be used alongside the new notes till December 31, 2023.
