Eye On central Bank Of Nigeria after Supreme Court Naira Policy Ruling 

Author: Africa Business Radio March 6, 2023 Duration: 36:45
Economists And Financial experts across the country continued over the weekend to hail the decision by the Supreme Court to extend the validity of the withdrawn N1,000 and N500 currency notes until December 31, 2023, describing the ruling as a positive development and one that provides relief from the cash crunch and helps stave off the severe repercussions for businesses and socioeconomic activities of Nigerians inflicted by the policy. But given the conflicting directives and orders exercised by the judicial and executive arms of the government in relation to the naira redesign policy, many Nigerians are still in the dark as to what happens next days after the judgement; mainly because the Central Bank of Nigeria is yet to react, thus further raising the anxiety of Nigerians.
