Buhari asked to suspend ATM, mobile transfer, electricity charges

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for the suspension of charges for use of ATM cards and low amount mobile fund transfers during the COVID-19 lockdown.

PDP gave this advice in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday in Abuja.

The party called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to immediately open an arrangement with commercial banks to suspend the charges.

“The PDP demands the CBN to immediately liaise with commercial banks and stimulate a special social sustenance modality to defray the cost of such charges, particularly to cover minimal transactions in favour of vulnerable Nigerians,” he said.
