The development comes amid the nationwide outrage over the rejection of the notes which President Muhammadu Buhari declared were no longer legal tender.
In his national broadcast, Buhari had asked Nigerians to take old N500 and N1000 notes to the CBN.
Nigerians had trooped to the apex bank offices to deposit their old notes.
