BREAKING: Nigerian Central Bank Fires Boards of Four Major Banks
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a major shakeup, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has abruptly dismissed the boards of directors for Polaris, Titan, Union, and Keystone Banks, effective immediately. This stunning decision follows the recommendations of a special investigation into the bank’s activities.

The move, announced on Wednesday, sent shockwaves through the Nigerian financial sector. Sources within the CBN, speaking under anonymity, confirmed the decision was made during a meeting led by Governor Yemi Cardoso and an official statement is expected soon.

Probe Uncovers Alleged Mismanagement:

This action comes after a six-month investigation, commissioned by President Bola Tinubu in July 2023, into the CBN and other financial institutions.

The probe, headed by Special Investigator Jim Obazee, uncovered serious concerns about the previous administration under Governor Godwin Emefiele.

The investigation report alleges Emefiele used proxies to illegally acquire Union Bank for Titan Trust Bank and Keystone Bank without any proof of payment. In light of these findings, the report recommended the government reverse the sale of these banks and take them back under public control.

What’s Next?

The CBN’s sudden decision to fire the boards of these four banks has sparked a flurry of questions. The official statement, due shortly, is expected to provide more details about the reasons behind the dismissals and the next steps for these banks. The potential government takeover of Union and Keystone Banks also remains a key point to watch.

This dramatic development promises to have significant consequences for the Nigerian banking sector and the wider economy. All eyes are now on the CBN’s official statement and the government’s response to the investigation’s recommendations.
