President Muhammadu Buhari has received the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, at Aso Rock in Abuja.
The meeting is taking place just hours after the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday to halt the February 10 deadline for the validity of three old naira notes.
In a unanimous ruling, a seven-member Supreme Court panel led by Justice John Okoro granted an interim injunction following an ex parte petition filed by the governments of Kogi, Kaduna, and Zamfara.
The Supreme Court also ruled that the Federal Government and the apex bank could not extend the deadline until the outcome of the hearing on February 15.
The outcome of the meeting is yet to be known but the visit by the apex bank chief is in connection to the ruling of the Supreme Court.
