The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) has joined the growing list of corporate organisations and individuals who are donating to the relief fund set up by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to help the government in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement signed by its Director of Communication and Public Affairs, Sunday Oluyemi, the NDIC disclosed that it would contribute N1 billion to the intervention fund. Some parts of the statement said:

“It would be recalled that the Bankers Committee led by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at its emergency Tele- Conference call meeting on March 30, announced that the Committee and the private sector had set up an account at the CBN under the auspices of the Private Sector Coalition Against COVID-19.
