CBN Financial Support Crucial

The success of the merger hinges on financial support from the CBN. The provided funds will be utilized to address Unity Bank’s outstanding obligations to the Central Bank and other creditors. The CBN has clarified that this action is authorized under Section 42 (2) of the CBN Act, 2007, and is essential for the financial health and operational stability of the combined entity.

No Systemic Risk to the Banking Sector

The CBN has emphasized that no other Nigerian bank is currently facing a situation comparable to that of Heritage Bank, which was recently liquidated. The central bank reiterated its commitment to protecting depositors’ interests and maintaining a stable banking sector through proactive measures and strategic interventions.
