Sidi-Ali further revealed that the apex bank successfully settled the entire liabilities of 14 banks and initiated settlements with foreign airlines.

She underscored the central bank’s determination to cleanse the financial services sector, instill confidence among all market participants, and build trust with both internal and external stakeholders in the Nigerian economy.
