Despite calls from Nigerians, including the Senate, which appealed to the CBN to extend the deadline to 30 June, the CBN has doubled down on the original deadline.
Mr Buni in a statement through his spokesperson Mamman Mohammed asked the CBN to make a special concession for the people of the state or make an alternative arrangement, especially for people living in rural areas to meet the deadline.
“Some of the banks with branches in the local government areas closed the branches at the peak of the Boko Haram security challenge but are yet to reopen in spite of the improved security in the state,” he said. “As a regulatory body, CBN should also ensure commercial banks open branches in the local government council headquarters now that there is improved peace and security across the state”, he said.
