NDIC disburses N1.08bn to depositors of failed banks


The Managing Director of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Mr Bello Hassan, said it has paid about N1.08bn to 29,573 depositors of the recently closed Microfinance Banks and Primary Mortgage Banks.

He disclosed this while giving his speech at the 18th Abuja International Trade Fair on Thursday.

While noting that payment was still ongoing, he said depositors with funds exceeding the insured limit would get the liquidation dividends after recovery of debts and sale of physical assets of the closed banks.

Hassan said, ā€œRecently, following the revocation of licences for 179 Microfinance Banks and four Primary Mortgage Banks by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the NDIC immediately commenced liquidation of the banks and began disbursing insured sums to depositors within just 7 days of the closure of these banks.

ā€œItā€™s important to note that as at 22nd September 2023, the Corporation had paid a cumulative insured sum of N1.084bn to 29,573 depositors of the closed MFBs/MPBs.

ā€œIt is however instructive to let you know that payments are still ongoing and depositors with funds exceeding the insured limit will receive liquidation dividends after recovery of debts and sale of physical assets of the closed banks.ā€
