SERAP should keep their mouths shut. They talk too much. They know nothing about good governance. If borrowing is what's going to make our country move forward then our President must borrow. I'm sure the president Buhari led administration is already working on modalities to pay back these loans. Enough of the wailing already....
Then lend them your own money to move the country forward.
Do not touch other people's money dead or alive. The dead have next of kin. Get their consent and should the decide to give, pay interest where required. Ie bonds.

So person wey go prison go come back and he no go meet him money for account. This was how Lebanese government started borrowing money from dormant accounts and they graduated to borrowing from active accounts.


Over 70% of Nigerians are not even government workers. So the day Nigerian government will dream of borrowing from peoples active accounts without their permission is the day the will see the other side of Nigerians.

yeah, that is just the fact, my advice for you my dear, just do whatever you can do to get out of this country, because very soon it will be very difficult to survive. Because very soon no loan will be given to Nigeria from any international body or any country and the country is being finance my loans, so your leaders will just automatically leave the country quietly leaving you behind.

An account that's dormant for 6 years is suggestive of the death of the owner or holding a slush fund.

Either way, the govt is more entitled to it than the banks who are using it to make personal gains. If the govt use such funds to build infrastructures and boost the economy, it's for our common good.
Dumb. What if the person is in jail or out of the country.

The Finance Act 2020 which was recently signed by the president has become the law provided it does not contravene any part of the constitution. You must remember that this was passed by the NASS.

I have provided you with a link to that of US law on Dormant Account.

Thanks as you have provided insights into why this is being done and not the over simplistic narrative from majority of us including in this case SERAP itself.

As you said, people are not concerned that the banks themselves are currently using these funds free of charge to fund their private enterprises or other ventures that do not contribute necessarily to growing our economy. The banks themselves can't wait to declare accounts dormant for reasons stated above. So if govt steps up to say, look you banks and unclaimed dividend managers should borrow these funds to govt to help close the infrastructure gap, what is wrong in that? If that will help us reduce our foreign borrowings, what is wrong in that?

Mind you, the govt is not confiscating the funds. It will pay a decent interest in consideration of using the funds. Whenever owners or next of kins step forward to claim those funds, they will have access to their funds for sure.

Section 44 of the constitution quoted by SERAP said towards the end...'except in the manner and for the purposes prescribed by a law'. That law is the Finance Act 2020 passed by NASS.

I agree that govt should do more in reducing cost of governance and cutting waste. That can be done in parallel.

Yes there is trust deficit with govt due to years of misrule. However if you take time to analyse the way Buhari is going about this infrastructure revolution, you will clearly see a different pattern and approach compared with how previous govt has gone about them.

The loans are put in the hands of those that directly build infrastructure. Check the way beaureacracies and corrupt middlemen and politicians are bypassed to reduce corruption. From the rail infrastructure provided directly by rhe Chinese to Siemens Power deal struck directly with Siemens and German govt to proceeds of bonds paid directly to road contractors etc etc. That is why those projects are being delivered timely and within budget.

This govt is also fighting the corrupt processes it inherited from the past govt e.g port reforms that eliminate expensive middlemen and concessionaires, power distribution companies that failed to deliver according to contract etc etc

Just take a look with an open and unbiased mind and you will see a clear and progressive direction

But thinking of it, banks do this all the time (i.e. take the funds you deposit and use same for business) without you even knowing it. Most important thing is that whenever the owner of the funds decides to withdraw their funds, the bank would provide the cash.

If there's any party that should be worried about this, it's the bank whose access to liquid cash would be reduced. But then again, lending is the standard business of banks; they lend the cash from their vaults to the govt and then the govt pays back with interest.
