Details of what is being discussed is not yet known

 

The meeting is coming after 10 states asked the Supreme Court to declare the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari on the naira swap policy as unconstitutional.

 

The states are Kaduna, Kogi, Zamfara, Ondo, Ekiti, Katsina, Ogun, Cross River, Lagos, and Sokoto.

 

On Thursday, Buhari said he directed the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to recirculate only the old N200 notes.

 

This is in spite of the ruling of the apex court that old N200, N500, and N1000 notes are still legal tender.

 

Tinubu has also voiced his displeasure about the naira swap policy.
