Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has assured depositors and customers of Nigerian banks of the safety of their funds in the banks.<\/p>\n

The Acting Director, Corporate Communications Department of the CBN, Mrs Hakama Sidi-Ali, gave the assurance in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Sidi-Ali said that the assurance was informed by reports about a recommendation for the Federal Government to take over some CBN-supervised financial institutions.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there have been unconfirmed reports by some media outlets about plans by the CBN to take over Titan Trust Bank (former Union Bank) and Keystone Bank.<\/p>\n

This is allegedly linked to a report by Mr Jim Obazee, CBN\u2019s special investigator, that former governor of the apex bank, Mr Godwin Emefiele, used his proxies to acquire the two financial institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, Nigerian banks remain safe and sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CBN encourages the public to continue their regular activities without being alarmed by reports that have not<\/p>\n

emanated from the CBN about the health status of Nigerian banks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CBN is fully equipped to carry out its statutory duty of upholding a stable financial system in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe assure the general public and depositors about the safety of their funds in Nigerian financial institutions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She urged bank customers to go ahead with their banking transactions as usual, as there was no cause for concern.<\/p>\n
