Nigerians possessing outdated Naira notes may still deposit them at commercial banks after the deadline of February 10, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

This was said by the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele on Tuesday when he testified before a House of Representatives ad hoc committee.

Recall the CBN on Sunday had announced the extension of deadlines to deposit old Naira notes after several pleas from Nigerians.

Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House, claims that the CBN Act requires commercial banks to accept obsolete currency.

“After the expiration date, such naira notes changed will no longer be legal tender but it also says that even five months, three months, or two months after, even in June, all the old notes presented to the bank shall be redeemed by the bank,” Mr Gbajabiamila had said in a speech on Thursday.

While speaking at the hearing, Emefiele said he is in agreement with the parliament on section 20.

“Section 20 says even after the old currency has lost its legal tender status that we are mandated to collect that money. And I stand with the House of Reps on this,” he said.

He explained further that “if you have your money that you have not been able to send to the bank. We will certainly give you the opportunity to bring them back into the CBN to redeem it.

Either you pay it to your bank account or you want to do an exchange — we give you. You will not lose your money. This is the assurance I give to Nigerians,” he stated.
