A pile of complaints over this development has been noted by the Nigeria Central Bank. However, the BVN has come to a deadline by the end of today's banking services.
NUJ Europe is taking a look at the suffering people are subjected to at the wake of addressing the fraud of operators of accounts in more than one bank. Of what importance is this excercise?

Ibrahim Muazu, director, corporate communications department, Central Bank of Nigeria, yesterday said the Bank Verification Number exercise, scheduled to end today, will not be extended.
