Presidential Aide Says Buhari May Extend Deadline For New Naira Notes

Ajuri Ngelale, the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Public Affairs, has indicated that there is a possibility for the deadline for exchanging old naira notes with new ones to be extended.

The President’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Ajuri Ngelale, has suggested that the deadline for exchanging old naira notes with new ones may be extended.

This comes after Ngelale accused the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, of providing misleading information to President Buhari about the availability of the new naira notes for the public.

In an interview with TVC, Ngelale claimed that Emefiele had given President Buhari the false impression that the CBN had made enough of the new notes available for all Nigerians.

However, he emphasized that the decision to extend the deadline is entirely up to President Buhari, who will consider the developments in the coming days before making a final decision.

“What we are working to do is to ensure that Mr. President is given effective and true information that the reports that have been given by the Central Bank of Nigeria that they have adequately supplied all banking branches in the country with sufficient amounts of the new Naira notes, that this is absolutely false. It is evident at this point.”

“And of course, Mr. President, being the pro-people, defender of the masses that he has always been, did the right thing when the intelligence reached him that indeed, he was getting false intelligence from the Central Bank, which was to extend the deadline from January 31 to February 10.”

“Now, clearly, with the adjustment in the deadline, it was also announced that other agencies such as the EFCC and the ICPC are now actively involved in the oversight about the distribution of the new Naira notes to banking branches across the country as well as rural cash swaps with the over 30,000 Super agents that are being sent out.

“So, there is an extra level of oversight and monitoring that has now been added to the process. But with that said, it is absolutely evident that President Muhammadu Buhari is pragmatic and he is going to defend the masses of this country. If he gets any intelligence that during the course of this 10 day extension window, that the wrong things have been done or the right things have not been done, that these new Naira notes have not been made available to the masses of our people across the urban centres and across the rural communities across the country, The President has that option on the table of extending that deadline and that will be left to his discretion.

“But certainly, it’s going to be based on what he sees happening across the country over the next several days. Of course, we are heartened by the new information we received today from the central bank that now over-the-counter provisions of the new Naira notes will be made available to banking customers across the country.”
