The Aburi Accord (also called the Aburi Declaration) came from a meeting of Nigeria’s Supreme Military Council on 4–5 January 1967 in Aburi, Ghana.​ It was the last major attempt to avert the Nigerian Civil War after the 1966 coups and the killings of Easterners (especially Igbos) in the North. Hosted by Ghana’s Lt.-Gen. J.A. Ankrah, participants included Yakubu Gowon (Head of the Federal Military Government), Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (Military Governor of the Eastern Region), the other regional military governors, and senior police/military officers. Ojukwu attended because he would not go to meetings inside Nigeria for security reasons.

NIGERIA DESTROYED IT CURRENCY BECAUSE OF EASTERN REGION 😂😂😂😂 Ojukwu introduced the Biafran pound as the official currency of the Republic of Biafra in January 1968. Background and trigger After declaring independence on 30 May 1967, Biafra initially continued using the Nigerian pound. In late 1967, the Nigerian federal government (under Gowon) issued new Nigerian pound notes. This was an economic warfare measure intended to render the old Nigerian notes held in the Eastern Region (estimated at around £37 million) worthless and cut off Biafra’s access to usable currency.​ Cambridge Biafran authorities scrambled to collect as much of the old Nigerian currency as possible for foreign exchange while preparing their own notes. Introduction by Ojukwu On 27 January 1968, Ojukwu announced (and signed a decree) introducing Biafran currency notes as legal tender throughout the Republic of Biafra, while declaring that Nigerian currency notes would cease to be legal tender. The notes were officially issued to the public on 29 January 1968.
