The Central Bank of Nigeria has announced the revocation of the operating licenses of 83 Microfinance Banks in the country.<\/p>\n

The closure of the affected institutions, according to the apex bank took effect from December 20, 2013.<\/p>\n

In view of the closure, the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, NDIC has been appointed the provisional liquidator for their wind down.<\/p>\n

The corporation confirmed the development and said that it has commenced the process of winding up of the affairs of the affected MFBs.<\/p>\n

The corporation said a public announcement would soon be made to communicate the process of verification and payment of insured deposits in the affected MFBs.<\/p>\n

Although the NDIC failed to state the reasons why the licences were revoke, investigations revealed that their inability to recapitalise was responsible for the closure.<\/p>\n

The CBN, which several months ago asked the MFBs to recapitalise before December 31, 2013, had categorised them under different amounts of capital base requirement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
