IN SHORT: With elections just days away, and amid a crippling shortage of local currency, an alarmist message making the rounds on WhatsApp and social media claims that the banking system will be shut down. This is false, the central bank said. ‘CBN plans to shut down financial transactions from Thursday, 23 February till Monday, 27 February 2023,’ reads the heading of a message circulating on WhatsApp in Nigeria. The “special information” message has also been shared by different pages on Facebook. The message advises Nigerians to stock up on supplies in their homes, as banking services will be unavailable during the election period. Nigerians will vote for a new president and members of the national assembly on Friday, 25 February 2023. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regulates financial services in the country, including banking. The message reads: “Anyhow you can get money between today and tomorrow, get and keep it. Also whatever transfer you want to do, do it between today and tomorrow. The information I’m hearing is that from Thursday, the bank network will go off till Sunday or Monday, so politicians will not be able to transfer money to anybody for votes. So buy enough food at home, and do your transfer now because the next five days will be difficult,” the broadcast read.

I didn't even bother to take the information with a pinch of salt. How can the banks shut down just because of election, when we know for sure that even the federal govt will need to process some bank transactions by friday |
