The House of Representatives has urged the Central Bank of Nigeria to suspend the ongoing recapitalisation exercise for microfinance banks in the country until the economy gets better.
At the plenary on Wednesday, the House unanimously adopted a motion moved by the Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, Saidu Abdullahi, titled ‘Urgent Need for the Central Bank of Nigeria to Suspend the Deadline for Recapitalisation of Microfinance Banks.’
Consequently, the House urged the CBN to “suspend the planned recapitalisation program until the economy stabilises and considered safe for a new deadline to be fixed.”
