BVN Deadline: Bank Customers Close Account

CBN Headquarters, Abuja

As the October 31st deadline for the enrolment for the Bank Verification Number (BVN) ended yesterday, many banks across the federation were swarmed with customers on Friday to complete their BVN just as many closed down their accounts to avoid any backlash. A visit to some banks within Lagos metropolis and its environs, customers’ turnout was massively high.

In Festac town, Mushin, Ikeja, Yaba, Maryland, Ojota, Ketu, Mile 12, Ikorodu and its environs, most of the banks were overflowing with customers who were desperate to be captured.
