House Of Reps Rejects CBN’s 10-day Extension For Exchange Of Old N200, N500, N1,0000 Notes
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Abuja – The House of Representatives Adhoc Committee on new naira re-design and naira swap policy has rejected the ten- day extension granted by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the exchange of old naira notes.

The CBN had earlier fixed January 31st as the deadline for the exchange of the old naira notes; N200, N500 and N1000 but decided to extend the deadline till February 10.

The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele on Sunday, said President Muhammadu Buhari gave permission for the deadline to be extended to February 10.

In its swift reaction, the Adhoc Committee, under the Chairman of the leader of the House, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, rejected the extension.

He insisted that the CBN must comply with sections 20 sub 3, 4, and 5 of the CBN act.

Recall the House, during its sitting last Tuesday, following the outcry by Nigerians, constituted the ad hoc committee to look into the issue.

” The 10-day extension for the exchange of the old naira notes is not the solution.

“We as a legislative committee with a constitutional mandate of the house, would only accept clear compliance with section 20 sub 3, 4, and 5 of the CBN act and nothing more.

” Nigeria as a developing economy and a nascent democracy must respect the principle of the rule of law. And the House would go ahead to sign arrest warrant to compel the CBN Governor to appear before the Adhoc committee,” Doguwa said.

He said under his chairmanship, the committee would continue its work until it gets the demands of Nigerians addressed in accordance with the laws of the land.

Describing the extension as a mere political gimmick to further deceive Nigerians and worsen their economic and social livelihood, Doguwa said the CBN governor must appear before or stand the risk of being arrested on the strength of legislative writs signed by Hon. Speaker on Monday.

He also said the policy is
capable of frustrating the forthcoming general elections.

“Security agencies and their operations especially at the states level are generally funded through cash advances and direct table payments of allowances to operatives during elections,” he said. (vitalnewsngr.com)
