Old, New Naira Notes Remain Legal Tender – CBN
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has reiterated that all denominations of naira notes it issued remain legal tender and should be accepted as a means of payment for goods and services.
This directive, the CBN said, is in accordance with Section 20(5) of the CBN Act, 2007.
The CBN has directed its branches across the country to continue issuing adequate quantities of old and redesigned naira notes to Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) for onward circulation to bank customers.
This measure, it said, ensures that there is sufficient cash in circulation to meet the needs of the economy.
The CBN, in a statement by Dr Isa AbdulMumin Director Corporate Communications of the bank, urged the public to accept all naira notes in circulation and refrain from engaging in panic withdrawals.
The bank emphasised that there is no shortage of cash and it is committed to ensuring the smooth operation of the payment system.
To further reduce the reliance on physical cash, the CBN encourages the adoption of alternative payment methods, such as electronic transfers and mobile money which the bank believes are methods that offer convenience, security, and efficiency in financial transactions.
The apex bank said it remains committed to its mandate of ensuring price and monetary stability as well as promoting a sound financial system in Nigeria. It assured the public that it will continue to take all necessary measures to maintain the stability of the naira and the integrity of the Nigerian payment system.

…..as lawmakers suggest ways to improve future elections
Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday congratulated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, over the affirmation of their victory in the March 18 governorship election by the Court of Appeal.
The lawmakers also said there was a need for the National Assembly’s electoral committee to work on issues of delay in voters registration as well as the high number of election cases handled by the Courts of Appeal.
This position of the lawmakers followed a letter read by the Clerk of the House, Barrister Olalekan Onafeko, informing the House that the National Assembly Committee on Electoral Act would have a three-day retreat in Lagos.
The Deputy Speaker, Hon. Mojisola Lasbat-Meranda, who presided over plenary on behalf of Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, agreed that registration of voters should be a continuous exercise in order to accommodate more eligible voters.
Lasbat-Meranda suggested that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) can start requesting for means of identification in the course of registering voters to ascertain an electorate’s actual places of residence.
The Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, Public Petition and LASIEC, Hon. Ajomale Oladipo, had earlier identified delay in voters registration and post-election legal matters as two challenges that the committee should tackle.
The lawmaker said that after general elections, Appeal Courts face the hurdle of attending to many cases leading to delayed judgements.
He added that the Electoral Act should accommodate state High Courts to handle some of the cases.
The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Noheem Adams, said it was necessary for the National Assembly to create more awareness about the electoral review exercise while Hon. Sanni Okanlawon, representing Kosofe 1, suggested that the Electoral Act should accommodate diaspora voting.
On his part, Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu, representing Eti-Osa Constituency 2, urged the electoral committee to look into situations where people are mobilised to vote in areas where they are not resident.
“They occupy hotels during elections to sleep and leave for their states of residence after voting. Something should be done to address this,” he said.
