LEADERSHIP recalls the CBN revoked the operational licenses of the 4,173 BDC operators in March due to noncompliance with certain regulatory guidelines.

While urging shareholders and directors of the companies to take action, the CAC said details of the affected companies have also been published on its website for re-confirmation.

“Following the revocation of the operational licenses of 4,173 Bureau De Change companies by the Central Bank of Nigeria vide a Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette (Vol. 111) No. 37 of February 2024 for non-compliance with Regulatory Standards, the Corporate Affairs Commission in exercise of its powers under Section 8(1) (e) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 advises these companies to within three months from the date of this publication, change names and objects.
