Ajuri Ngelale, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, has accused Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), of giving false information to President Muhammadu Buhari on the availability of new Naira notes.
In October last year, Emefiele announced the plan to redesign the N200, N500, and N1,000 notes, and asked Nigerians to deposit their old notes before January 31, 2023 when they would cease to be legal tender.
Although the deadline has been shifted to February 10, many Nigerians have found it difficult to obtain the new naira notes.

In an interview on TVC, monitored by Daily Trust, Ngelale, said, “What we are working to do is to ensure that Mr. president is given effective and true information that the reports that have been given by the Central Bank of Nigeria that they have adequately supplied all banking branches in the country with sufficient amounts of the new Naira notes, that this is absolutely false. It is evident at this point.
