The state’s attorney general and commissioner for justice, Nasara Danmallam, said the case with suit number SC/CV/210/2023 filed on February 10, 2023 with the state government as the plaintiff, is seeking an extension of the timeframe given by the CBN for the currency swap and withdrawal from circulation of the old N200, N500 and N1,000 among other reliefs. 

He said in the affidavit in support of the originating summons filed at the Supreme Court, the state government contended that the unavailability of the new notes had caused untold hardship and suffering for inhabitants of the state, especially those living in rural communities.

The attorney general said the state government was deeply concerned with their plight and would continue to do anything within its constitutional limit to ameliorate their sufferings.
