Some business owners in Enugu State have continued to reject the old naira notes for transactions despite the Supreme Court judgment validating them, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
They said it would be difficult to spend the old notes because many residents were rejecting the old notes as well. A food vendor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said she would not collect the old notes because nobody was ready to collect them from her. A provision shop owner at Mayor Market, Jude Okoye, told NAN that he preferred his customers to pay him electronically than to receive the old naira notes from them.
They need orientation
Going back to those notes is just tantamount to leaking our vomit. How do we go back to those notes again after all these sufferings and frustrations caused by the redesign policy implementation? In fact, even the whole masses ought to reject those notes with all seriousness.
Not only in Enugu, mostly everywhere market people are rejecting the money because they don't know which order Gen. Buhari and Col. Emefiele can give tomorrow.
