The Council of State has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to print more redesigned naira notes or allow the new and old banknotes to circulate at the same time to ease the tension and hardship caused by the scarcity of the naira.
This was made known on Friday by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
Malami, who was also flanked by Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State and Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba State, said the Council emphasized the need for forceful action by the CBN to ensure adequate supply of the new naira note in the system for proper implementation of the policy.
