Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has announced that the president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will launch the new naira notes on the 23rd of November 2022.
According to Nairametrics, Emefiele made this known during a media briefing with journalists at the monetary policy communique held on November 22nd, 2022.
He also insisted that there is no going back on the January 31st data of ensuring all old currencies lose their legal tender status.
“We will not shift any deadline. It is in tandem with the law” he said.
The CBN boss also said that he is relying on their law to push this policy forward.
Emefiele also appreciated Buhari for his support over the last seven and a half years, while he also singled out the president’s support for the new naira policy which he has backed twice in comments to the media.
