The Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, on Thursday announced plans to render
financial services to villages across the country by the end of 2020.
Emefiele, who made the disclosure at a
two-day CBN fair tagged “Promoting Financial Stability and Economic
Development,” said the CBN now has a central complaints centre where
customers can present their challenges and they would be resolved
immediately.
Represented by the Benin Branch
Controller, Mr Richard Jumbo, the CBN governor said it has become
pertinent to sensitize the people on their rights and duties as
customers, urging participants to be dedicated to preaching the CBN
gospel of actualizing a full cashless society by the year 2020.
According to him, “The banking sector
has improved to the extent that you can buy and transfer money with your
phone. You can use your ATM to pay for goods in shops through POS.
He said the programme was also aimed at
teaching those looking for loans for agriculture and business to be
taught how to get the them.
His words: “We want to bring financial
services to the villages that there are things that can be done with the
phone not when you want money you have to travel for miles to another
town. Now you can seat in your house and send any amount of money you
want to send.
