Inna statement signed by the acting Director, Corporate Communications of the apex bank, the approval of the financial accommodation for the merger is a strategic move designed to bolster the stability of Nigeria’s financial system and avert potential systemic risks. The merger is contingent upon the financial support from the CBN.

According to the apex bank, the fund will be instrumental in addressing Unity Bank’s total obligations to the Central Bank and other stakeholders. It is unequivocal to state that the CBN’s action is in accordance with the provisions of Section 42 (2) of the CBN Act, 2007.

“This arrangement is crucial for the financial health and operational stability of the post-merger organisation. Furthermore, it is important to emphasise that no Nigerian bank currently faces a precarious situation comparable to that of Heritage Bank, which was recently liquidated. The CBN remains committed to safeguarding depositors’ interests and ensuring the smooth functioning of the banking sector through proactive measures and strategic interventions.

“The CBN’s decision underscores its dedication to maintaining financial stability and promoting confidence in the banking system during this transformative period,” she said in the statement on Tuesday.
