BVN: Give more time to Nigerians abroad, Dabiri-Erewa appeals to Cbn, Agf.

ABUJA—Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora,  Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has appealed to the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, to put modalities and logistics in place for Nigerians in the Diaspora to obtain their Bank Verification Number, BVN, to avoid forfeiture of their savings in their respective bank accounts. 

The appeal became necessary due to an interim order of forfeiture granted by a Federal High Court in Abuja on October 17, 2017, for the banks to show cause within 14 days why the balances in such accounts should not be forfeited. 

In a statement in Abuja by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Special Assistant Media to Abike Dabiri-Erewa, implored CBN to make it possible for all Nigerians in the Diaspora to have their BVN done in their countries of abode as there had been challenges in getting it before now.
