Nigerians Panic Over BVN Registration With One Day Left To Meet Deadline

As the Central Bank of Nigeria (CNB) deadline for obtaining the Bank Verification Number (BVN) is rapidly approaching, Nigerians are seen rushing to make sure they register.

The BVN registration, which is mandatory for all account owners, must be completed before June 30th, 2015.

Office workers and business people are now spending days registering at their respective banks across the country.

According to Mrs. Blessing Daniel, a housewife, she has been going to her bank since June 22th without success receiving registration forms. Another bank costumer, Mr. Samuel Omede, a commercial motorcycle operator told SaharaReporters that “I have been coming here since Thursday 25th and I have not be able to get the forms.”

He added that “today is Monday and registration ends tomorrow. How are they going to get all this crowd registered between today and tomorrow?” The CBN BVN Committee stated Monday morning that there will not be any deadline extension, except for the Nigerians in diaspora confronted with logistical challenges. As of Wednesday July 1st, any unregistered account costumers will not be granted access to operate.
