Malami asks Supremem court to state govt's suit challenging CBN's naira redesign policy The Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami has asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the suit filed by Three State Governments challenging the Naira Redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). In a preliminary objection filed by the AGF through his counsel Mahmud Magaji and Tijanni Gazali, the federal government argues that the Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the suit. the AGF contends that the plaintiffs have equally not shown the reasonable cause of action against the defendant. He is asking the court to strike out the suit for lack of jurisdiction. Section 251 of the Constitution, the AGF argued that the suit falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal High Court in matters of monetary policy of an agency of the federal government. The claims or reliefs are not against the federation, but against the Federal Government and its Agency, the Central Bank of Nigeria. The Federal Government of Nigeria is distinct from the Federation or the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Plaintiffs have no grievance whatsoever against the Federation of Nigeria. "This suit has disclosed no dispute that invokes this (Supreme) Court’s original jurisdiction as constitutionally defined,".
