CBN extends registration deadline for Nigerians in diaspora

In a circular posted on the CBN website on Thursday, the apex bank revealed that the decision to extend the deadline, originally set at January 31, was as a result of low number of responses from the affected banks’ customers.

The apex bank said, in the circular, that it discovered from a survey it conducted, that the low responses could be as a result of inadequate information and lack of accessibility to registration centres in some countries with large Nigerian populations.
