President Muhammadu Buhari has received Godwin Emefiele, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the presidential villa.
The meeting is coming hours after the supreme court ruled on Wednesday, February 8, restraining the federal government from implementing the February 10 deadline sets to stop the legality of the old naira notes, Channels TV reported.
Though details of the meeting are yet to be known, it could not be unconnected with the ruling of the supreme court that stopped the federal government from stopping Nigerians from spending the old naira notes.
Justice John Okoro led a 7-man panel of justices of the supreme court in a unanimous ruling granted the interim injunction after an ex parte order filed by the governments of Kaduna, Zamfara and Kogi states.
The apex court held that the federal government and the CBN must stop the deadline until the determination of notice with respect to the issue of February 15.
