Mr Ikuforiji and his former personal assistant, Oyebode Atoyebi, are facing a 54-count charge before the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court.
The governor said the appeal followed the CBN directives that banks should begin accepting and disbursing the old naira notes.
“All Nigerians can now sigh a relief on this matter, and we expect more cash to be in circulation to ease our pains.”
Lagos residents can call 08124993895, 09064323154, and 08092509777 to report banks rejecting old naira notes deposits.
Consequently, all concerned are directed to conform accordingly.
The governor said Nigerians were waiting on the regime and CBN to speedily enforce the judgement.
“If banks will not accept old notes as deposits, they must stop issuing old notes for withdrawal.”
The state asked the CBN to respect the judgment of the Supreme Court and ease the hardships of citizens caused by the new naira policy.
They told journalists in separate interviews that spending the two old notes had been challenging as Nigerians, and even banks were not accepting the money for their daily transactions.
The supreme court had on Wednesday ruled that the old naira notes of N1000, N500 and N200 should continue as legal tender alongside the new notes until December 2023.
