BREAKING: FG apologises for self-certification form request
The Federal Government has apologised for asking all account holders in the country’s financial institutions to fill a self-certification form.
Daily Times had reported that the FG earlier asked all account holders in banks, including insurance companies, to fill and submit a Self-Certification form.
The order was given despite the possession of the Bank Verification Number and the National Identification Number by account holders on Thursday.
