The Kano governor vowed to forcefully “convert the space of the destroyed banks into schools that will provide quality education for our children.”
On Friday, the CBN directed the banks to resume over the counter collection of the earlier outlawed banknotes.
The Kaduna governor made the announcement on Thursday.
Mr Emefiele said he met with about 15 commercial banks and directed them to ensure that the old N200 note remained a legal tender from now till April 10.
”I am deeply pained and sincerely sympathise with you all over these unintended outcomes.”
Mr Buhari directed the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, to release more of the old N200 banknotes and the new N200 notes to the public.
The broadcast is expected to centre on the raging naira crisis that has been making life difficult for citizens who are unable to access the cash needed for everyday transactions.
The states sought a restraining order to stop the full implementation of the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Mr Emefiele, in defiance of the Supreme Court, insisted “there is no need to consider any shift from the deadline of February 10.”
“The position of the government and the CBN will be made known upon the determination of the suit coming up tomorrow (today),” said the Presidency.
