He further disclosed that the visit will enlighten the displaced person on the functions of banks, as many Nigerians live in ignorance of the banks’ responsibilities and do not utilise it as expected.
“Due to ignorance, people don’t know what CBN does. But it involves in intervention of small scale industries and gives loans to farmers. People who should know do not know and the monies are just lying there unattended to and sometimes, smaller banks use them for their businesses.”
