He stated, “Since the introduction of over-the-counter payments to supplement ATM disbursements and the use of super-agents, the situation has significantly improved.
Therefore, there is no need to consider a change to the February 10 deadline, he said.
The Supreme Court had previously restrained the federal government from enforcing the February 10 deadline for the currency exchange.
In a unanimous ruling, a seven-member panel of the supreme court led by Justice John Okoro issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Federal Government, the Central Bank of Nigeria, and commercial banks from implementing the Friday termination date for the old naira notes.
