The Supreme Court has adjourned hearing on the Naira redesign suit to Wednesday, March 3, 2023. The Court, had on February 8,  granted interim injunction restraining the Federal Government from implementing the February 10 deadline for swapping the old Naira notes with new ones.

Other states like Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti, Kano, Sokoto, Ogun and Cross River later have joined the suit as co-plaintiffs.

The apex court’s decision today extending further hearing on the case to March 3, has also extended the agonies of ordinary Nigerians who had looked up to today, to get some reliefs from the Supreme Court’s final judgment.
