Sixteen states filed the suit with the latest being Rivers, Kano, Niger, Jigawa, Nasarawa, and Abia.

The suit was initiated by Kaduna, Kogi, and Zamfara before the supreme court.

The states are seeking to restrain the federal government from giving effect to the deadline on the use of old  N200, N500, and N1,000 notes.

The apex court on February 8, temporarily restrained the CBN from implementing its deadline following an ex parte application brought by the three states.

Subsequently, several states approached the apex court to be joined in the suit.

Ondo, Ekiti, Katsina, Ogun, Cross River, Lagos, and Sokoto states were among the first batch to be joined as co-plaintiffs, while Edo and Bayelsa states joined the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) as defendants.

The plaintiffs are arguing that the implementation of the policy has caused untold hardship for Nigerians.

The states had asked the supreme court to declare President Muhammmadu Buhari’s directive reintroducing the N200 notes and declaring old N500 and N1000 notes as unconstitutional.
