The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has reassured the public, depositors, and stakeholders that the Nigerian banking sector remains resilient, safe, and sound.
The CBN made this remark in a statement issued by its Acting Director, Corporate Communications Department, Hakama Sidi-Ali.
According to Sidi-Ali, the attention of the CBN has been drawn to certain publications and social media reports containing misleading information regarding the operations of a regulated financial institution.
She said: “The CBN wishes to categorically reassure the public, depositors, and stakeholders that the Nigerian banking sector remains resilient, safe, and sound.
“Like all other regulated institutions, the institution referenced in these reports is held to stringent regulatory requirements, and there is no cause for concern regarding the safety of depositors’ funds.”
She said that the apex bank would continue to monitor all financial institutions under its regulatory purview and maintain robust frameworks for early warning signals and risk-based supervision.
