The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has revoked the licences of 139 microfinance banks in the country, as well as four primary mortgage banks and three finance companies.
This was disclosed in the official gazette of the Federal Government, which was published on the website of the CBN on Tuesday.
CBN noted that the licences of the financial institutions were revoked because they ceased to carry on in Nigeria, the type of business for which their licences were issued for a continuous period of six months.
