Banks Release Names of Debtors: Here are Some of Them

Godwin Emefiele - Bella Naija
CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele
In line with a directive issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which instructed banks to publish names of debtors, many have proceeded to do so.
According to Nation, publication of the names was inevitable, as debtors failed to meet the July 31 2015 payment deadline set by CBN.
An unnamed bank worker said, “Some debtors have entered into various payment schemes  to avoid being shamed by this exercise.”
The report further reveals that the debtors are to be blacklisted and banned from participating in the foreign exchange market as well as trading in the Nigerian Government Securities market. Also, the publication of the debtors’ lists is to be a continuous exercise.
Here are some of the banks’ debtors, as reported by Nation.
