A Nigerian think-tank, the Center for the Promotion of Public Enterprises and Professor of Capital Market Studies at the Nasarawa State University, Uche Uwaleke, have expressed divergent views on the new deadline set by the Central Bank of Nigeria to withdraw the old Naira Notes from circulation.
Amid mounting pressure, CBN finally agreed to extend the deadline for the withdrawal of the old N1000, N500 and N200 from January 31, 2023 to February 10 with an additional seven days grace period to enable those who still have the old notes to swap them.
