As October 31 deadline for Bank Verification Number (BVN) approaches, Nigerians are once again hit with the fever of losing their bank accounts, they will be unable to access their bank accounts online or through an ATM if they don't have a new bank account verification number.


As the banks aren't open tomorrow, today, in effect, is the last day they can get the number.

It's thought more than half of all Nigeria's bank account holders don't yet have it, so there be some queuing at the banks today.
