Naira Redesign: Buhari Told To Obey Supreme Court Order

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) urged President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday to reveal details of the steps he was taking to immediately comply with the Supreme Court decision extending the validity of the old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes, as well as to direct the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to continue to accept the notes from Nigerians.

SERAP also urged the president to publicly instruct the CBN to immediately and effectively implement the Supreme Court decision ordering an end to bank cash withdrawal limits, claiming that such restrictions violate citizens’ right to freely use their property.

SERAP also urged him to reveal the steps he was taking to direct the CBN to immediately re-circulate the old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes, as the Supreme Court had ordered.

In a letter dated March 4, 2023 and signed by SERAP’s Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organization stated that there was a compelling public interest in learning more about the steps the government and the CBN were taking to effectively and satisfactorily comply with the Supreme Court decision.

The letter, read in part: “We would be grateful if the requested information and recommended measures are implemented within seven days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter. “If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall take all appropriate legal actions to compel your government to comply with our requests. The implementation by your government of the CBN policy on the redesign of the country’s currency has contributed to violations of citizens’ rights.

“SERAP is concerned about the persistent disobedience of court orders by your government, and the apparent lack of respect for constitutional and international rule of law obligations. Nigerians are entitled to the details of the level of compliance by your government and the CBN with the Supreme Court decision as a matter of transparency, justice and the rule of law.”
