Nigeria’s Senate President, Dr
Bukola Saraki said, has said he introduced the use of Automated Teller Machine,
otherwise known as ATM in Nigeria.
He stated this on Wednesday while
giving his remark on a motion, “Illicit and excessive charges by Nigerian Banks
on customers account with particular focus on Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
maintenance and withdrawal charges”, sponsored by Senator Olugbenga Ashafa
representing Lagos East Senatorial District.
Saraki said, he introduced ATM
twenty-five years ago when he was the Chairman of Society Générale Bank before
other banks began the use of ATM.
Saraki expressed grave concern
over exorbitant charges by banks when customers use their ATM, saying that when
he introduced ATM services in the now defunct Society Générale Bank, it was not
so.
“I quite agree with the motion
sponsored by Gbenga Ashafa over the exploitation of ATM users, after all, the
use of ATM is not a new thing to banks. I first introduced ATM about
twenty-five years ago.”
Saraki was the Chairman of both
the Society General Bank which later became Trade bank. Both banks liquidated
under controversial circumstances.
