Mr Emefiele spoke in Daura, Katsina State, after a meeting with the president who is in his home state for official duties.
The CBN Governor said Nigerians, who are yet to change their naira notes from the old to new ones, now have an opportunity to do so.
Emefiele addded that people must utilize the opportunity because the deadline will not be extended again.
