Nduagwuike requested that the CBN increase the amount of effort it puts into the supervision of banks.
“There must be some method by which the CBN will be able to control the activities of crooks operating in the financial circle.
He stated that “Ponzi schemes seem to have a way of dodging the organization until it has wrecked huge financial damage to individuals and the economy.” “Ponzi schemes appear to have a way of dodging the organization.”
The president of ECCIMA expressed that the organization was pleased to have such a close relationship with the bank.
