NDIC STRENGTHENS JUDICIARY PARTNERSHIP TO EXPEDITE RECOVERY FOR DEPOSITORS OF FAILED BANKS

Key Details:
The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) is enhancing its collaboration with the judiciary to speed up legal actions against failed financial institutions.

NDIC Managing Director, Bello Hassan, shared this during the 19th Abuja International Trade Fair.

As a result of this partnership, depositors of more than 20 closed banks have received full liquidation dividends.

Hassan highlighted that the initiative aligns with laws such as the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act 2020 and the NDIC Act 2023.

The corporation has implemented innovative solutions like using Bank Verification Numbers (BVN) to pay 84.98% of depositors from the recently closed Heritage Bank.

NDIC also aims to hold bank directors accountable to promote financial stability and safeguard depositors' funds.

The President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce commended NDIC for fostering a stable financial ecosystem, crucial for trade and investment.
