The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has denied claims that Heritage bank is in distress.
The CBN in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja and signed by Isaac Okorafor, Acting director, corporate communications of the bank said the apex bank’s attention has “been drawn to false and malicious stories on the social media insinuating that Heritage Bank is under financial distress and therefore unable to discharge its obligations to its depositors.”
The CBN, he said “wish to state that Heritage Bank is not in distress and as such its depositors should go about their transactions without fear.”
The CBN spokesman further stated that no Nigerian Bank is in distress and that “the CBN, as the industry regulator, has a duty to depositors, in particular, and the economy, in general, to ensure the soundness of all financial institutions.”
The CBN also stated that it will remain alive to its responsibility of ensuring banking system stability and soundness through constant monitoring and supervision of all licensed institutions.
Isaac Okorafor reiterated that “the banking system remains resilient enough to weather the current economic storm.”
It is clear now that everything under this clueless and useless APC government is distressed.
ReplyDeleteNigerians now curse the day this useless APC was formed because APC is now a symbol of hardship hunger suffering malnutrition insecurity corruption nepotism favouritism dictatorship and maladministration.
Chanji dole!
Sai Baba!
Heritage bank is distress. It's confirmed and I don't know why CBN is lying. I guess it's because Saraki is a Co owner. Heritage bank will go down just like they did with SGBN and Trade bank. How do you explain paying 200k to a customer that wants to withdraw 2m.
