According to CBN, the licenses of the financial institutions and companies were revoked because they ceased to carry on their business in Nigeria for a period of six months.

The country’s apex bank said that the institutions and companies failed to fulfil or comply with the conditions with which their licenses were given, adding that the revocation of the institution’s and companies’ licenses is in line with the provision of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, BOFIA 2020, Section 12, Act No.5.
