Government is talking about accounts not linked to BVN at all. If you have lost your BVN number, simply go back to your bank and get it.

I really don't see why some so called analyst are against this move. If government don't take custody of the funds, the banks will use it as they like forever. The funds in the unlinked accounts have been there since 2015 without anybody claiming it. Government should take custody of the funds and use it judiciously for the good of the entire country.

Very good move by the govt. I know pigs must grunt again. They are stolen money that can't be explained.

Relatives of dead depositors should work towards retrieving the deposits but at most people don't know that such accounts and deposits exists. There are even married people who run coded bank accounts without the knowledge of their spouses, when such persons died who goes to claim the money?

I have been outside Nigeria for over 5 yrs. I had some money in zenith bank before I left.

The account has not been linked to any bvn because I don't even remember the account number.

I have never held any public office.

So going by the reasoning of the government and the reasoning of some people here, the money in my account must be stolen money that should be forfeited to the government just because the account does not have bvn.

This is a case of guilty until proven innocent.
Why does a government think that robbing it's citizens is a good policy

Good line of thoughts, I wonder why a government should impoverish its people, rightly put,there are people abroad that have nor registered BVN what efforts are thenFGN putting in place to ensure the registration is done in our embassies and linking it to various account holders , I believe this will be the easiest way to catch anybody that has looted funds in his/her account as it will be a bit difficult to register BVN if you know you have funds looted ,

Also, I believe there should be a threshold of amount to be held in an account for somebody to be a suspect, say if I have less than $4,000 in my domicile airy account over five years will that be termed as looted funds, they should be scientific in taking hasty decisions.

What about those that have lost their BVNs?

This ruling is divorced from reality, there are a whole lot of old fashioned bank users not in tune with modern technology and needing to catch up

I don't see the benefit of this policy other than another example of a government that lacks human face.

This is all Buhari knows how to do, seize seize and seize. He does not create or improve anything!

Does Buhari know what a BVN is? Does Buhari know how to use ATM? Does Buhari use internet banking? For Buhari he has a lot of aides to do these things. Most older Nigerians don't and may not have a helper.

This people really need to get real

No responsible person who worked so hard for his or her money will leave even 50k to a bank even Dangote no go leave him penny. So this is a welcome idea for a nation so fantastically corrupt. Only a greedy rich man or woman who died suddenly without disclosing such account to any close family may be just be the only funds that might not come from corruption. Anyone trying to avoid BVN is a criminal.

this government is really funny, so Nigerians in the diaspora who haven't been home for the past 5-10years are to forfeit any money that is held in their accounts over here before they travelled, and I know some of them are still funding those accounts. Una try o.

we have a lot of problem in this country. All what you have said please, is there any one one that make sense? What about those people that have lost there Bvn? If anybody lost his /her Bvn won't he/she go back tobank and retrieve it back. Some analyst don't have common sense at all. If somebody can't go to bank from anywhere he/she is locating since 2014 definitely that person have skeleton in the cupboard. Truly some may be serving jail term in abroad but when such person comes back to the country he can get court order to claim his money back. But am sure majority of the money without Bvn are own by top civil servant. They are criminals. They don't love this country for just a second. If you are in civil service,you will understand what am saying. This policy is good one. If my mother of 70 year of age can go bank and queue for hours and get her Bvn I don't know why others can't do the same. If an handicap can do the same I don't know why able can't do it.
