The All Progressives Congress (APC) governors have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to allow both the old and new naira notes to co-exist as Nigerians have trouble accessing the new Naira notes.
The governors made the plea in a closed-door meeting held at the presidential villa., on Friday.
The governors said retaining the old notes as legal tender along with the new notes will allow for easy exchange.
Speaking after the meeting on behalf of the governors, Kaduna state governor, Nasir el-Rufai said the governors conveyed their request to the president during the meeting.
