The Supreme Court has halted move by the Central Bank of Nigeria to stop the use of old N1000, N500 and N200, by February 10, 2023.<\/p>\n

The court restrained the Federal Government from continuing with the full implementation of the demonetization policy.<\/p>\n

Three northern states, Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara, had, in a motion ex-parte filed on February 3rd, prayed the apex court to halt the Central Bank of Nigeria\u2019s naira redesign policy.<\/p>\n

A 7-man panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice John Okoro, in a unanimous ruling, granted an interim injunction restraining the FG, CBN, commercial banks etc, from implementing the February 10 deadline<\/a> for the old 200, 500 and 1000 Naira notes to stop being a legal tender.<\/p>\n

The court further held that the FG, CBN, and commercial banks must not continue with the deadline pending the determination of a notice on notice in respect of the issue on February 15.
