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The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has withdrawn its earlier circular directing banks to implement a controversial 0.5% cybersecurity levy on electronic transactions.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

Clement Jimbo Congratulates Governor Eno, President Tinubu on 1 Year Anniversary

member Representing Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon CLEMENT JIMBO has congratulated President BOLA TINUBU and Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor UMO ENO as they mark 1 year in office.

 

JIMBO in a statement he signed noted that with all that President TINUBU has achieved within one year in office through the RENEWED HOPE Agenda and GovernorUMO ENO through the ARISE Agenda, Akwa Ibom people and Nigerians are well positioned for better days ahead.

 

He particularly lauded the president for his leadership qualities which he identified as humility, integrity and selfless service to Nigeria.

 

Hon JIMBO who is also the Deputy Chairman National Planning and Economic Development at the green chamber took time to outline some of the milestones recorded in the BOLA TINUBU Led administration which he described as remarkable.

 

Some of the achievement noted by the lawmaker are; the switching of payment for crude oil sales to central Bank of Nigeria, away from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, the moribund Port Harcourt refinery being fully back to work to the collective pride of Nigerians, the introduction of the Student loan Scheme, signing of a memorandum of Understanding with the President of Russia to build a nuclear plant for Nigeria, to get stable electricity.

 

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
