    Central Bank of Nigeria through Nirsal Covid 19 loan Should look into those of us that have seen alert on NMFB account for two weeks now instead of our preferred and sent account number and still not seen the money which the Nirsal NMFB in ILORIN can not tell exactly where the money is after we have been forced to open an account with them ( Nirsal NMFB) with 10,000. We will want to know if the money have been re-diverted to another place or the government is not interested in assisting us again. This is the end of the second weekend. Thanks sir.
