The meeting held amid scarcity of naira notes which had elicited protests in various parts of the country.
Recall that the President had sought a seven-day grace to be able to resolve the hardship being faced by Nigerians following the scarcity of the new Naira notes.
The apex bank had fixed February 10 as the deadline for the old naira notes to cease to be a legal tender in the country.
But many Nigerians have been calling for an extension of the deadline due to the unavailability of the redesigned notes.
