Operator Tasks Banks On CBN Programmes Implementation
A financial operator, Dr.
Uju Ogubunka, has urged commercial banks and other financial institutions in the country to implement the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Programmes on financial literacy for proper enlightenment.
Ogubunka, the President of the Bank Customers Association of Nigeria (BCAN), who made this known to newsmen in Lagos, said that commercial banks and other financial institutions in the country need to render services that are based on acceptable standards and value to customers and the general public .
The financial operator said he believes there is need to rally bank customers and consumers of banking and financial services for the promotion and protection of their interests in the face of daunting challenges against them.
He opined that his association would intensify efforts at fostering mutual understanding, trust and confidence between banks and their customers, adding that they would do that through customer education to facilitate and fast track the realisation of the CBN financial inclusion and other programmes.
According to him, his association would organise awareness programmes for members of the public to sensitise them in the area of bank charges, banking policies, regulations, product/services for their benefits as well as customers inclusion.
Ogubunka said that he and his group would support the CBN and commercial banks in creating a sound, stable and sustainable financial system throughout the country.
He, however, charged banks to comply with the provisions of all operative status, regulations, laws guidelines as well as agreement reached with customers and stakeholders for better banking operations.
