Naira crisis: Supreme Court gives firm position as it decides case

Still in a related story, Legit.ng previously reported that the suit involving the CBN, federal government, and some states in Nigeria over the naira redesign policy would be resolved.

This was the position of the Supreme Court, whose Justice Inyang Okoro-led five-man panel is presiding over the case.

The apex court also said new parties wishing to join the suit would no longer be allowed.
