Nigerians Don’t Need Bank Accounts: EFCC by Shukushaka: 9:11am On May 26, 2021 |
“Nearly 40 per cent of Americans do not have accounts. So, it is not very compulsory for everybody in Nigeria to have a bank account.” NEWS AGENCY OF NIGERIA • MAY 26, 2021 The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it is not compulsory for Nigerians to have bank accounts amid the rising spate of bank frauds and insider crimes in the banking sector. The EFCC also kicked against the idea of opening bank accounts with “mere phone numbers,” arguing that nearly 40 per cent of Americans do not have accounts. “Nearly 40 per cent of Americans do not have accounts. So, it is not very compulsory for everybody in Nigeria to have a bank account,” said Bawa Usman, zonal head of the EFCC in Sokoto. According to him, insiders facilitate most financial frauds in the banking industry. Mr Usman, whose zone covers Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara, stated this on Tuesday in Sokoto at a roundtable with compliance officers of commercial banks. The EFCC convened the meeting to strengthen the relationship and collaborations between the EFCC and the banks in tackling frauds. Mr Usman further said the banks often frustrated the EFCC’s investigations as they delayed replying to its letters. “Such delays jeopardise our investigation. Financial institutions must collaborate with us toward curtailing money laundering, illegal financing, and other illicit flows of money. “The meeting is a response to the directive of the EFCC leadership. It is one of numerous strategies toward fighting all manners of corruption. “The commission strives to ensure that fraudsters do not get away with proceeds of crimes undetected. To achieve this, we are appealing to all banks to facilitate a better working relationship with the anti-graft agency,” he explained. He urged bankers to improve ways of tracking illicit finances and transactions, stressing that point of service operators or money agents needed to be well-informed on financial regulations. Mr Usman told the banks to ensure that eligible customers obtain Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering (SCUML) numbers, stressing the need to review their data registers to ensure compliance. https://gazettengr.com/nigerians-dont-need-bank-accounts-efcc/?utm_source=ReviveOldPost&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ReviveOldPost

Shukushaka:When I read the headline, I just knew only a semi illiterate Aboki, product of quota system, could have uttered such tosh. Maybe he wants us to go back to keeping cash under our pillows. Exactly how does it help the fight against corruption if people can hide cash in tankers and graves? Is it not better the money is in banks where there is a record trail?

Dis is what U get wen U have dafts heading govt institutions and agencies. They are quick to make half baked comparisons weneva it suits dem... It's jus a shame we have mo.rons supported by ediots running the affairs of dis country. They quoted a report in the usual way forgetting to read through what they were quick to copy while exaggeratingon the figures. They didn't mention there are more options than ever for Americans who want to operate without a bank, such as using prepaid debit cards, online payment systems like PayPal or fintech companies. The most recent report puts the number of banked Americans at about 95% (as at March 2021). 5 Likes 1 Share |

He should have said northerners don't need bank account. Sometimes I wonder what and how northerners are being taught in their Universities that makes even their so called graduates to be so daft. But it surprises me the more how they end up reaching the peak of their career. This totally explain why they excell in government sectors but not in private sector or internationally 7 Likes 1 Share |

When you see rubbish and mediocrity being peddled by useless northern government functionaries, rather than objectively criticise the unfortunate bull-crap, you resort to attacking the medium/news outlet. See other news sources, are these ones also without reputation? Nonsense! Once you can't defend evil you resort to labeling it fake news!
