The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has issued a fresh assurance regarding the stability of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.
This came after a Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday nullified the apex bank’s previous intervention in the bank’s leadership.
In a late Wednesday night statement, CBN highlighted that Union Bank continues to meet its obligations to its customers.
The statement, signed by the CBN Ag. Director of Corporate Communications, Mrs. Hakama Sidi Ali, read: “The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) acknowledges the judgment delivered on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, by the Federal High Court in Lagos concerning its regulatory action on Union Bank of Nigeria Plc (UBN) in January 2024.
“The Bank is currently obtaining the Certified True Copy of the judgment and will review it carefully, reaffirming its unwavering commitment to the rule of law.
“As the apex regulatory authority, the CBN remains committed to acting in accordance with its mandate and established legal processes.
“The CBN assures the public that UBN’s status is unchanged and that it remains fully capable of meeting its obligations to customers, depositors, and all stakeholders.
