‘NDIC safeguarded N949.6 billion depositors’ funds from Skye Bank’

August 2, 2019

The bank, in August last year, wrote a petition to the Presidency seeking its assistance in recovering funds Ayeni had improperly obtained as Chairman.

After pumping over N100 billion into the bank, the CBN in September revoked the bank’s operating licence and handed over its assets and liabilities to a bridge bank named Polaris.

The Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) was also mandated to inject N786  billion into Polaris Bank Limited and subsequently, find a new buyer.

Minister of Finance  Zainab Ahmed, in October had tasked Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation, NDIC to investigate the circumstances that led to the collapse of the bank, and stated that all those found guilty would be brought to book.

“All those found culpable in the failure of the bank would be prosecuted. We have to show some examples. We cannot just be bailing out banks and leaving perpetrators of the failure of these banks to just go scot-free.”
