The February 10 deadline given by CBN for the old Naira notes to stop being a legal tender has thrown the country into chaos. Protests erupted today in some states and a bank got burnt in Edo State.
This latest extension made by Buhari government to allow the old notes to be in circulation for the next 60 days is expected to alleviate the sufferings Nigerians have gone through in the last couple of weeks.
