A circular, signed by A M Barau on behalf of the CBN director of banking supervision, instructed banks to inform the affected customers of the vacation.
However, the apex bank did not provide a reason for the action.
The circular read:
“You are hereby directed to vacate the Post-No-Debit restriction placed on the accounts of the underlisted bank customers at our instance.
“You are also required to inform the concerned customers of the vacation accordingly.”
