House Of Reps Orders CBN To Halt New Cash Withdrawal Limits

Date:

Reading time: 1 Minute

 

The House of Representatives has criticized the new policy introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria which, among others, sets limits to cash withdrawals at the Deposit Money Banks and other financial institutions.

Consequently, the House summoned the Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele, to come and explain the policy to the parliament.

He is to appear before the lawmakers on Thursday.

This is based on a motion of urgent public importance moved by a member of the House, Aliyu Magaji, at the plenary on Thursday.

Several lawmakers warned that the policy would have serious consequences and adverse effects on businesses and Nigerians who have no access to the banking system.

The Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, however, said the policy would check crimes as funds would now be tracked through the banking system.

He said though the timing might be wrong, the country would benefit more from it.
