Nigerian financial institutions have reportedly started dispensing the recently demonetized 1,000, 500 and 100-naira banknotes just days after the nation’s highest court ruled against the CBN’s so-called naira redesign policy. According to a Bloomberg, some of the country’s leading financial institutions such as Guaranty Trust Holding Co. Plc and Sterling Bank Plc were already dispensing the old notes on March 6.
In its ruling delivered on March 3, 2023, the Nigerian Supreme Court slated the central bank’s hasty demonetization process. The court alsothe outgoing president Muhammadu Buhari of undermining the country’s democratic credentials after his government failed to abide by a provisional order that barred it from proceeding with the demonetization process.
While the CBN has not issued a formal statement following the Supreme Court’s ruling, the CEO of Sterling Bank, Abubakar Suleiman, is quoted in the Bloomberg report explaining why banks have chosen to comply with the ruling. “The central bank is abiding by the supreme court’s ruling, as are the banks. I don’t think we need a directive to obey the court,” the executive reportedly said.By redistributing the old banknotes, Nigerian banks not only comply with the court ruling but will also placate dissatisfied bank customers that failed to withdraw cash in the days leading to the Feb. 10 demonetization deadline.
