CBN Re-opens Operation in Kano Tomorrow From Yakubu Musa in Kano
Kano Branch office of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), gutted by fire recently, would resume operation, tomorrow (Monday) even as the House of Representatives may review the budget of the bank following the incident,
The branch controller of the bank, Alh. Adamu Jafia, who disclosed this while conducting the House of Representatives Committee on finance round the bank, said operations would start at the newly built part of the bank which was not affected. According him, all the data and security documents have been recovered "We have lost quite a few records but in terms of data we have recovered all and all our security documents are safelyguarded in our fire proof safe," he noted. In the same vein the Director Currency Operation of the bank, Alh. Garba Ahmed, told the committee that "not a single note was burnt in the inferno" On the cause of the fire, Garba pointed out that the police is already investigating the matter, while the CBN has instituted a probe with a view to ascertaining the actual cause. He, however, ruled out the handiwork of arsonists, following the recent Kano riot, stressing that "there was no riot around this area" |
