The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has warned microfinance institutions to desist from activities such as wholesale banking and foreign exchange transactions.
This was disclosed in a circular issued on Friday, August 20; titled “Cessation of non-permissible activities by microfinance banks,” signed by Ibrahim Tukur on behalf of CBN’s Financial Policy and Regulation Department.
CBN said, “The Central Bank of Nigeria has observed the activities of some microfinance banks; that have gone beyond the remit of their operating licence; by engaging in non-permissible activities; especially wholesale backing, foreign exchange transactions, and others.
“Given the comparatively low capitalisation of MfBs; dealing in wholesale and/or foreign exchange transactions are a significant risk; with dire consequences for financial system stability. Therefore, it has become imperative to remind all MfBs to strictly comply with the extant Revised Regulatory and Supervisory Guidelines for Microfinance Banks in Nigeria 2012.
“For the avoidance of doubt and consistent with the permissible activities of specialised micro-institutions: MfBs are strictly prohibited from foreign exchange transactions.
“The CBN would continue to monitor developments in the MfB sector; and apply stringent regulatory sanctions for violations of extant regulations; including revoking licenses of non-compliant MFBs.”

Governor Simon Bako Lalong of Plateau State has relaxed the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on Jos North Local Government on Sunday to its earlier status.
Under the new arrangement, the curfew will be observed from 6pm to 6am daily beginning from Thursday 19th August 2021. This will also apply to Bassa and Jos South Local Government Areas untill further notice.
The decision was reached after the State Security Council meeting held at the Government House Rayfield on Wednesday, 18th August 2021 where the Governor received briefings from the heads of security agencies and also reviewed the situation.
In relaxing the curfew, Governor Simon Lalong warned trouble makers to desist from threatening lives and properties of citizens or be ready for a showdown with security forces who have been directed to be tough with anyone causing a breach of the peace.
He expressed outrage over what he called the desperation of criminals bent on causing mayhem in the State, as there were isolated attacks which led to loss of lives and destruction of properties in some areas of Jos North and Bassa LGAs during the curfew.
While the curfew is relaxed in Jos North, security agencies will mount permanent checkpoints in high vulnerable areas; deploy more uniform and plain clothes personnel; and also observe the conduct of citizens round the clock.
The Governor also reiterated that the prohibition on processions was still in force and anyone found violating the order will be dealt with according to the law.
The Governor appreciated the cooperation of law abiding citizens and urged them to continue to support Government to deal with the situation and restore normalcy to the affected areas and the State at large.
He urged parents and community leaders to prevail on their wards to maintain pecae as the Government does not want to be forced to always resort to curfews which affect the economy and freedom of the people and the State as a whole.

PLATEAU STAKEHOLDERS HOLD EMERGENCY MEETING OVER INSECURITY; VOW TO UNITE AGAINST RETURN OF VIOLENCE TO PLATEAU STATE.
Towards finding a lasting solution to the recent attacks that led to the the loss of lives and properties in some parts of Plateau State, Governor Simon Bako Lalong has summoned an emergency security stakeholders meeting to examine the ways of restoring normalcy and permanent peace to the State.
Governor Lalong while addressing the meeting at the Government House Little Rayfield Jos, said despite the huge investments that have been made in peace building and crime fighting, Plateau is again confronted with the activities of criminals who are bent on reversing the gains made in the last six years.
He said in recent weeks and months, the State has witnessed isolated cases of attacks on some communities in Jos North; Riyom LGA; Bassa LGA; Barkin Ladi and Jos South Local Government Areas.
“In most of these attacks, farmers as well as herders were either killed or cattle and farm crops destroyed. Houses were also burnt down and people rendered homeless. The human loses due to the destruction is very worrisome as it continues to fuel the endless circle of attacks and counter attacks”. He said.
The Governor regretted that while these efforts were ongoing to bring those behind the unfortunate attacks to justice, another unfortunate breach of peace along Rukuba road on Saturday 14th August 2021 where a convoy of five buses with passengers returning from a religious festival in Bauchi State heading to Ondo State were attacked.
This act he said was most despicable which brought about the imposition of 24-hour curfew on Jos North Local Government Area in addition to the dusk to dawn curfew in Bassa and Jos South LGAs to curtail total breakdown of law and order.
Lalong charged the stakeholders including Elders, past and present political office holders, representatives of CAN and JNI, PIDAN, women and youth groups as well as traditional rulers to brainstorm honestly and come up with valuable suggestions as to what can be done to settle once and for all, the cycle of violence that was almost being forgotten before the recent ugly developments.
The meeting thereafter went into a closed door session where the stakeholders arrived on various suggestions. These include:
The meeting was attended by Former Governor Jonah Jang, Chairman of the Plateau Council of Chiefs and Emirs His Majesty the Gbong Gwom Jos, Da Jacob Gyang Buba, National and State Assembly Members, and religious leaders.
Shortly after the stakeholders meeting, the State Security Council Council went into a session to review the security situation.
