CBN directs Bankers to declare assets

The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has directed all bankers in the 19 deposit banks in the country to declare their assets immediately. In a letter sent to all the banks through the Banking Supervision Department of the CBN, the apex bank mandated all bankers to declare their assets through a court affidavit. Insiders say the move is not unconnected with the anti-corruption campaign of this present administration. Only 3 of the 19 deposit banks have so far had their staff comply with this directive.
