Charles Oputa, who is famously known as Charly Boy, a veteran Nigerian musician, has raised concerns over the absence of the newly redesigned N1000, N500, and N200 naira notes from circulation.
It was revealed that in March, the Supreme Court ruled that the prior version of the naira notes, as well as the newly redesigned ones, would be legal currency until December 31, 2023. Emmanuel Agim, a member of the seven-judge panel, who presented the lead decision, stated that President Muhammadu Buhari's order to redesign the new notes and withdraw the old ones without appropriate consultation was invalid.
However, Charly Boy expressed his concern on Twitter that only the old notes are currently in circulation since the court's decision. He shared a picture with the caption "I nor dey see new naira notes again oo."
In the picture, he questioned why the new notes were not in circulation and asked if someone could explain the reason behind their absence. The redesign of the naira notes was intended to improve security features and make them more durable.
