 Can the Supreme Court's December deadline to phase out the old notes be visible? Well, my take is very simple. I don't think Nigerians should get unnecessarily agitated by the December 31 deadline. The essence of the deadline given by the Supreme Court is that Nigerians should have access to currency notes. What the experience of the last several weeks as demonstrated forcefully is the possibility of the coexistence of the old and new currency, the new currency notes at the same time. Remember that at the peak of the scarcity, many analysts pointed out the experience of other countries, including the United States, where all the new currency notes have existed for several years in some instances. In regard to the US today, some of the currencies that were phased out in 1986 are still in circulation. But once they are taken to the bank, they are not given out again. What is likely to happen is that the old notes will start getting withdrawn once there are enough notes in circulation. I am sure that even the Supreme Court will not be necessary to continue until we have enough of these notes in circulation so that there will be a gradual transition that will be seamless and will be endless for the people. There is no need for us to get agitated and insist that by December 31, that the old notes must be phased out. In any case, the purpose of the currency note is to be a miss of exchange. And as long as the old ones are accepted and have been accepted by the people, as lega tender, I think we are in good hands. Hopefully, I believe that great progress to be made during the next couple of months to ensure that by December will be on. But if it is not even ready, I believe that it is okay for us to continue using the old notes and the new notes until we can easily phased them out without stress for the people. Alright, so many have said the narrow redesign was policy somersaults, especially looking at the back and forth banters on it. Let's hear your comments, let's hear your thoughts on this. Well, I'm always wary of drawing conclusions without the benefit of all the factors that led to the policy formulation. No policy maker, no policy maker goes out of his way to design policies that will fail. No policy maker goes out of his way to design policies that will make life for the people more difficult than they are currently. So let's get that climb. At the point of designing a policy, some factors may not be clear to the policy maker that will bear on the implementation. That does not suggest malicious intent on the part of the policy maker. What we should note is that policies are not cast in stone and policies are subject to review. So the question of policy somersaults does not apply because if a policy maker that failed to review a policy that is not working, then you have failed the people. So policies are meant to be reviewed based on the lived experiences of the people. Indeed, any policy maker that fails to review a policy that is not working or that is not working and is designed should have its position reviewed. Even the Nigerian constitution is subject to review, much less a policy. So whether to call the policy somersaults is maybe a little bit of charity, I think what you have is a policy review that is always part of the policy making process in any development, in any society that wants to develop. All right. Now let's hear your recommendations just before we let you go. What are you recommending the way forward? Well, the way forward is very simple. Like I said, now there's nothing wrong and all that suggests is that we keep using the two notes, the old and the new currency notes simultaneously until the old ones, until the new ones are in no circulation such that when the new, when the old one is taken to the bank, they are gradually withdrawn and are not returned to the public until 40 times that everything is phrased up until then we should continue using the two notes simultaneously. But the central bank and the security prison are meant to take aggressive steps to produce more notes for the use of it because we knew the amount of money that was withdrawn from circulation, I was able to print enough if not to meet the exact number that was withdrawn or at least to be close to it so that the economy would not suffer needlessly.
