President Mohamed Buhari has approved the reintroduction of the old 200 Naira note as legal tender alongside the redesigned denomination until April 10. In a nationwide broadcast earlier, the president said the approval was necessitated by the need to cushion the hardship being experienced by citizens following the implementation of the new monetary policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN. Buhari revealed that the approval was also a result of wide consultations with relevant stakeholders including the representatives of state governors, council of states as well as the pronouncements of the Supreme Court. To further ease the supply pressures particularly to our citizens. I have given approval to the CBN that the old 200 Naira bank notes be released back into circulation and that it should also be allowed to circulate as legal tender with the new 200 Naira, 500 Naira and 1000 Naira bank notes for 60 days from February 10, 2023 to April 10, 2023 when the old 200 Naira notes ceases to be legal tender. In line with section 20, subsection 3 of the CBN Act 2007, all existing old 1000 Naira and 500 Naira notes remain redeemable at CBN and designated points. Considering the health of our economy and the legacy we must bequeath to the next administration and future generations of Nigerians, I admonish every citizen to strive harder to make their deposits by taking advantage of the platforms and windows being provided by the CBN.
