CBN Director, Banking Services Department, Sam Okojere, in a circular to banks and Nigeria Interbank Settlement System, NIBSS, explained that the apex bank lifted the temporary suspension of cheque clearing in Nigeria to make payment efficient for customers.

Okojere revealed that the move is part of the CBN’s effort in the development of a safe and efficient payment system in Nigeria.

The Director said that the move to lift the suspension was taken by the CBN in collaboration with relevant stakeholders after reviewing the need for cheque clearing to accommodate users of cheque as one of the payment instruments in Nigeria, despite some lockdown in some states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He, however, urged Deposit Money Banks to advise their customers accordingly on the latest development.

Last month, the Central Bank indefinitely suspended the clearing of cheque instruments in the Nigerian clearing system.

Okojere, in a circular to all Deposit Money Banks and the Nigeria Interbank Settlement System, NIBSS, said the directive became necessary due to the lockdown order issued by the President Muhammadu Buhari in Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory.

The lockdown was to curtail the rise in the number of confirmed cases of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

Earlier, the apex bank said in view of the lockdown and in furtherance of its effort to ensure hitch-free clearing and settlement activities, there is a need to suspend the clearing of cheques instruments.

The circular with reference number BKS/DIR/GEN/ClR/O7/002 said that the suspension would commence from March 31.

According to the release, no fresh cheque instrument will be allowed to pass through the clearing system from today (March 31), except returned cheque till further notice.
