Biodun Oyebanji, the Ekiti State Governor, has issued a new directive.
The governor has said that the state government will arrest and prosecute traders and service providers rejecting the old N500 and N1000 naira notes.
Oyebanji in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Yinka Olubode, on Saturday in Ado Ekiti, appealed to traders and business owners in the state to stop creating hardship for residents.
The governor explained that the old N500 and N1000 denominations remained legal tender by virtue of the ruling of the Supreme Court which extended its validity date till December 31.
Oyebanji said that his office had been inundated with the outcry of the people due to the hardship being faced as a result of the low circulation of the newly redesigned Naira notes, Vanguard Reports.
He said the Supreme Court had by its March 3 ruling, extended the validity date for the old naira notes in a case instituted by some states, including Ekiti.
Oyebanji said that the refusal of many business owners in the state to accept the old naira notes as means of the transaction was unlawful.
“This is an appeal to all residents of Ekiti to abide by the ruling of the Supreme Court, which has provided a reprieve for the people by extending the validity date of the old naira notes till December 31.
“As a honourable people, what is expected of us is to abide by the ruling of the apex court and continue to accept the old naira notes as means of transactions and not to inflict further hardship on one another by rejecting it.
“The government will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute business owners found rejecting the old naira notes,” the statement quoted Oyebanji as saying.
The governor, therefore, appealed to the market women and men, artisans, transporters, filling stations, supermarket owners and school proprietors as well as service providers to remain law abiding and accept the old naira notes.
He also urged the commercial banks and Central Bank of Nigeria,(CBN) to make the old and new currencies available in their branches and at their Automated Teller Machines (ATM) points in order to ease the stress residents go through to get money for their daily and commercial needs.
The acting Director of Corporate Communications, Dr. Isa Abdulmumin of CBN disclosed that both old and new Naira notes are now legal tender.
It will be recalled that last week, the Supreme Court gave its verdict on the Naira redesign, directing the federal government to allow the validity of N200, N500, and N1000 notes till 31 December.
According to the report, Isa affirmed that commercial banks have started issuing both old and new notes to their customers, although the apex bank is yet to issue an official statement.
He said:
“Banks are paying old notes as well as new notes. They are all legal tender.
Yes, the CBN has not issued an official statement on the issue. Anyone banks give to you, you can collect. We just want to make life easy for Nigerians. No. They can’t reject it. It’s all legal tender,”
