He stated that it had made provision for the extension of the repayment of loan obligations that were due.

Suleiman said the bank had also suspended the penal charge for late minimum repayment on customer credit cards during this period.

He said, “We understand that a lot of businesses have had to shut down their operations to curb the spread of the virus.

 “This has taken a toll on the employment and source of livelihood for many people. We are offering a range of solutions to help Nigerians manage through temporary or extended periods of reduced or lost income as a result of COVID-19.”
