Abubakar Malami (SAN), the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, has said that it is not his duty to provide advice on monetary policies.

We had earlier reported that the old N200, N500, and N1,000 notes will continue to be accepted as lawful tender until December 31, 2023, the Supreme Court said on Friday.

Following the decision, the Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have remained silent over the ruling and have declined to suggest a course of action to Nigerians.

Malami could not be reached for comment regarding yesterday’s Supreme Court decision.

His media assistant, Dr. Umar Gwandu, told The Nation that Malami’s brief does not include recommendations for monetary policy.

He asked the media to inform the public that he did not serve as an advisor on matters of monetary policy.

Gwandu said: “It is important that the educational role of the mass media be exercised in this direction.

“The media is an important tool for education and enlightenment.

“Let us use the media to inform the general public that the functions of the office of Attorney General do not include monetary policy regulation.”

When his attention was drawn to a recent example where the AGF was categorical on the FG’s disposition to the February 8th interim injunction issued by the Supreme Court, Gwandu declined comment.
