The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to “disclose details of the measures your government is taking to immediately and effectively obey the Supreme Court decision extending the validity of the old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes, and directing the Central Bank of Nigeria to continue to receive the notes from Nigerians.”

SERAP urged Buhari “to publicly instruct the CBN to immediately and effectively implement the Supreme Court decision ordering an end to the cash withdrawal limits imposed by banks because such restrictions violate citizens’ right to freely use their property.”

SERAP also urged the President “to disclose the measures that your government is taking to direct the CBN to immediately re-circulate the old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes, as ordered by the Supreme Court.” In the letter dated March 4, 2023 and signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said there was an overriding public interest in disclosing the details of the measures the government and the CBN were taking to effectively and satisfactorily obey the Supreme Court decision.

According to SERAP, disclosing the measures that the Federal Government and the CBN were taking to implement the Supreme Court decision would also enable Nigerians to monitor and scrutinise the level of compliance with the decision. SERAP said the public should not be kept in the dark on what the FG and the CBN were doing to implement the decision, saying widely publishing the implementation measures would also improve accountability of state officials and public confidence in the rule of law and Nigeria’s democracy.
