He also stated that it was difficult for many people to generate the code required for depositing money on the CBN website.

Buhari declared that old N500 and N1000 notes were no longer legal tender in his national broadcast on Wednesday, directing Nigerians to take the notes to the CBN and other designated locations.

He also directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to recirculate old N200 notes until April 10.
