Heritage Bank Limited
has replied to the report that the bank is next in line for the takeover of
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). The report emerged after CBN announced that Skye
Bank management has been dissolved. In its website, Heritage Bank calls the
report "falsehood and reckless journalism meant to destroy the emerging bank". Continue
to read full statement below…
Our attention has
been drawn to an obnoxious tweet by a news blog, Sahara Reporters, which has
alluded to the fact that the Management and Board of Heritage Bank is “next in
line” for dissolution by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
This is falsehood
and at best reckless journalism meant to destroy the emerging bank. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Central Bank of Nigeria has no such plan towards the
bank.
Consequently,
Heritage Bank wishes to encourage customers of the bank and the general public
to disregard the wicked misinformation, clearly borne out of the imagination of
the mischief makers and continue enjoying the excellent service the bank is
rendering to its growing clientele.
Heritage Bank will
not also sit back and allow its hard earned reputation to be tarnished on the
pages of an irresponsible blog. The bank will also leave no stone unturned to
ensure that those peddling unfounded rumours and speculations are brought to
book.
