The Bank of Industry (BoI) has secured the Central Bank of Nigeria’s
(CBN) licence to operate as a full-fledged Development Finance
Institution (DFI).
The approval was in line with the apex bank guidelines that “all
existing DFIs whether established directly by an Act of the National
Assembly, incorporated under Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) or
any other law shall be required to obtain licence from the CBN.”
A statement by the BoI noted that based on its plans to drive
industrialisation, it has embarked on strategic and tactical initiatives
to reposition its operations.
“BoI wishes to reiterate our readiness to continue to provide
financial support to SMEs and large enterprises with good business
propositions.”
