Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State on Monday said the old naira notes remain legal tender in the state.<\/p>\n

Sanwo-Olu disclosed this in a statement signed by the Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, called on business owners, especially retailers, to accept the old N500 and N1,000 notes in line with the Supreme Court judgement that the currency remains legal tender until December 31, 2023.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Supreme Court<\/a> had invalidated the naira redesign policy initiated by the Federal Government on the grounds that it was not done with due consultation and in line with constitutional provisions.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the apex court ordered that the old naira notes shall continue to be used side by side with the new naira notes till December 31, 2023.<\/p>\n

In line with the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling, the Lagos State Government also asked all its agencies not to reject the old notes.<\/p>\n

The statement read, \u201cThe Lagos State Government has noted the hardship sparked by the naira redesign policy, which has affected business and commercial activities. There is no reason to reject the old notes, going by the Supreme Court judgement delivered on March 3, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe apex court declared that \u2018no reasonable notice was given as required by Section 20(3) of the CBN Act\u2019, noting that the public only became aware of the policy through press remarks, which cannot qualify as a notice to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe court maintained that the policy has impeded the functions of State governments, pointing out that the directive that stops the use of the old notes is illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call on business owners, especially retailers, to accept the old N500 and N1,000 notes in line with the Supreme Court judgement that the currency remains legal tender until December 31, 2023. It is illegal to reject the notes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll agencies of the Lagos State Government are advised not to reject payments made with the old currency by the public.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
