FG Takes Over Nigerian Banks by Court Order Ahead of CBN Recapitalisation Deadline……
Ahead of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s March 31, 2026 recapitalisation deadline, the federal government has taken full ownership of two Nigerian banks by court order as part of efforts to stabilise the financial sector. The court ruled that the shares of the banks’ former owners be forfeited to the government, giving authorities control to strengthen operations and support compliance with new capital requirements. This move comes amid broader recapitalisation efforts, where many banks are racing to meet CBN’s raised capital thresholds ahead of the deadline.
