In a show of strong support for GTCO and move to debunk false allegations being levelled against the GTCO and its Executive Management by faceless and unqualified entities using the media, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), issued a Press Release today reassuring the public that their deposits with Nigerian Banks are safe.
The Statement titled, “CBN Reaffirms Commitment to Financial System Stability, Safety of Depositors’ Funds” and signed by Ag. Director, Corporate Communications, Hakama Sidi Ali (Mrs.), begins with a firm assurance: “The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) wishes to reassure the public of its unwavering commitment to ensuring the stability and reliability of the Nigerian financial system.”
It further stated, “The CBN recognises the crucial role that confidence plays in banking operations and wants to affirm that all deposits in Nigerian banks are secure. The CBN actively ensures that banks adhere to established regulations and best practices to maintain the integrity of our financial system. Regular stress testing is conducted to identify potential vulnerabilities, helping to ensure that our financial institutions are resilient.”
On how the Monetary Authority fulfills its oversight responsibility, ensuring system-wide monitoring of licensed Banks in Nigeria as well as their offshore operations, the Statement says, “In addition, the CBN has implemented Early Warning Systems that proactively detect and address emerging risks, allowing us to provide timely solutions to any foreseen issues. The Bank’s approach to Risk-Based Supervision ensures that it focuses its regulatory efforts on institutions that may pose the highest risk to the financial system. This targeted strategy allows it to maintain a robust oversight mechanism while promoting the overall health of the banking sector.
