CBN Makes U-Turn on 0.5% Cyber Security Levy

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has withdrawn its earlier circular directing banks to implement a controversial 0.5% cybersecurity levy on electronic transactions.

 

The decision of the apex bank to withdraw the circular followed the public outrage that trailed the announcement of the policy two weeks ago and the suspension of the levy by the Federal Government last week.

 

Recall that in its initial circular dated May 6, 2024 and addressed to all deposit money banks, mobile money operators and payment service providers, the apex bank directed the deduction of the levy to be remitted to the National Cybersecurity Fund (NCF), administered by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

Other achievements he mentioned include approval of Kano to Lagos narrow rail express service, expected to help farmers move their goods from the hinterlands as well as a law to effect payment of certain amount to the vulnerable, aged and unemployed citizens.

 

According to him, Nigeria will certainly recover from the economic downturn occasioned by fuel subsidy removal with efforts made to float evident initiatives.

 

Hon CLEMENT JIMBO who highlighted that his appreciation to the President was on behalf of his constituency and Wife, prayed that President TINUBU will be guided by uncommon wisdom to further pilot the affairs of the country
