Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has appointed new executives for Union, Keystone and Polaris Banks following the dissolution of their boards on Wednesday, January 10.

In a statement released, the apex bank said it dissolved the banks boards due to their non-compliance of the provisions of Section 12(c), (f), (g), (h) of Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020., suggesting threat to financial stability of the system.

The CBN then announced the appointment of new executives to oversee the affairs of the banks.
