With less than 1 day to the deadline for Bank Verification Number,
BVN, about 26 million account holders still haven’t registered to
protect their money.
The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has said no extension would be
granted after the deadline expires and customers who still haven’t
registered will have no access to their money or any transaction in
their account.
According to CBN, the registration window will still be open after
tomorrow, but unregistered customers will not be granted access to their
accounts.
He said:
“Field reports show that there has been increased surge in the number of registrations per day since last week, but it is clear that we may not exceed 50 percent by the deadline.”
Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria Plc, Jibril Aku said:
