The Central Bank of Nigeria in a circular has extended the deadline for the registration and linkage of BVN to accounts of Nigerian Banks’ Customers in diaspora to January 31, 2016.
This is due to the low percentage of registration of Nigeria Banks’ Customers in diaspora, which according to the apex bank may be attributed to lack of accessibility to registration centres and unavailability of registration centres in some cities where Nigerian population is high.
"Consequently, all the DMBs hereby requested to note that BVN enrolment for Nigerian Banks’ Customers in Diaspora is hereby extended to 30th June, 2016. This is to enable such customers complete the enrolment and link the BVN to their bank accounts," the circular said.
