Jigawa State Government saying the old naira notes remain legal tender in the state pending the judgment of the Supreme Court.
The state Commissioner for Information, Youths, Sports and Culture, Ibrahim Mamsa, stated this in a statement issued late Thursday.
This is coming despite the position of President Muhammadu Buhari that only the N200 old note remains legal tender till April 10, while the N500 and N1000 notes cease to be legal tender.
In the same vein, the Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, in a statewide broadcast late Thursday also kicked against Buhari’s order, alleging that the naira redesign was part of plots to set up an interim government in Nigeria.
El-Rufai maintained that old notes are still legal tender in the state, and he urged residents to continue to transact with them.
