“Don’t write-off”: CBN sets sanctions for top directors taking loans as 4 banks approve over N112bn
Legit.ng reported that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) took a stern stance against potential conflicts of interest within the banking sector, introducing stringent sanctions targeting directors of financial institutions who secure loans from their affiliated banks.
This move comes as four commercial banks granted N122.7 billion in loans and advances to entities controlled by key management personnel and related parties in 2022.
The figures were contained in the banks’ financial accounts for the year ending December 31, 2022.
