Nwanisobi said CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, and his team were concerned about the development and what it portends for the sector and travelers as well as the country among the comity of nations.

 

Mr. Nwanisobi reinterated that the bank was not against any company repatriating its funds from the country, adding that what the Bank stands for was an orderly exit for those that might be interested in doing so.

 

With Friday’s release of the trapped funds, it is expected that operators and travelers as well will heave huge sigh of relief, as some airlines had threatened to withdraw their services in the face of unremitted funds for outstanding sale of tickets.
