The Central Bank of Nigeria has revoked the operating licenses of 132 Microfinance banks, four primary mortgage banks and three finance companies in Nigeria.
The Official Gazette of Nigeria, obtained from CBN’s website, disclosed this on Tuesday.
The publication stated that the licenses of the financial institutions and companies were revoked because they ceased to carry on their business in Nigeria for a period of six months.
The country’s apex bank said that the institutions and companies failed to fulfil or comply with the conditions with which their licenses were given.
It added that the revocation of the institution’s and companies’ licenses is in line with the provision of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, BOFIA 2020, Section 12, Act No.5.
