The meeting comes just hours after the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday, February 8, preventing the federal government from enforcing the February 10 deadline set to end the legality of the old naira notes, according to Channels TV.
Justice John Okoro led a seven-member panel of supreme court justices in a unanimous ruling that granted the interim injunction following an ex parte order filed by the governments of Kaduna, Zamfara, and Kogi states.
The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government and the CBN must suspend the deadline until the issue of February 15 is resolved.
