CBN returns over ₦60 billion excess bank charges to customers

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)has returned over ₦60 billion excess bank charges to customers.

On Thursday, CBN said it has so far recovered over ₦60 billion from erring banks as excessive charges imposed on customers and has equally returned the same amount to the affected customers.

This is just as the Apex Bank has announced that it had commenced the processes for the creation of 10 million jobs in the next five years through investment support in agriculture, using 10 commodity models.

The CBN Director of Corporate Communications, Mr. Isaac Okoroafor said the recovery of the excess bank charges was made possible through the bank’s Consumer Protection Department.

According to him, the amount was recovered following complaints by 13,000 customers over excess and illegal charges on their accounts by banks.


Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
