He also said payment of insured deposits to customers of the failed bank would commence this week, rather than the 30 days prescribed by the NDIC Act.
Meanwhile, the reality tv star who took to her social media page on the popular microblogging platform X formerly called Twitter said that she has over N100M in the Heritage Bank and by extension disclosed that they only want to give her N5M.
Pouring out her frustration, the reality TV star further revealed that, Heritage bank was the bank that sponsored Bbn during their set, and for them to have access to their money they were advised to open an account with them.
