Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has asked a Committee of E-banking Industry Heads to address difficulties faced by bank customers as a result of the executive complications arising from the introduction of the Bank Verification Number (BVN).
Emmanuel gave the charge when executive members of the Committee of E-banking Industry Heads met with him at the State’s Government House in Uyo.
He told the meeting that many bank customers’, who had gone through the BVN registration before the October deadline, experienced difficulties accessing their accounts as a result of the BVN regime.
Stressing the importance of E-payment to the success of a developing economy such as Nigeria, the Governor also urged banks operating in the state to partner with the government to ensure a crime-free business environment.
