Why Buhari meets Emefiele at the Presidential Villa

However, Emefiele did not speak with journalists after he met with Buhari.

The purpose of the meeting is not known but it is believed that it is unconnected to the naira scarcity problem currently bedevilling the country.

There has been tension in the country since the apex bank unveiled the new naira notes in November 2022 and announced that the old N200, N500 and N1000 notes would no longer be legal tender on January 31.
