BREAKING: SKYE BANK TAKEN OVER BY CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA

Skye bank plc

Another bank crises imminent as the Central Bank of Nigeria dissolves the Board of Skye bank and taken over its management till a new buyer is found.

The decision was as a result of the unhealthy state of the bank, thus forcing the CBN to intervene in order to prevent a complete collapse of the financial institution.


The non-performing loan of the bank is estimated to be about N700 billion, much of this sum is as a result of an over exposure in the hydrocarbon (oil and gas) sector.

Except for three executives who joined the bank in 2015, all the directors and executives have been sacked.

Managing director of Skye Bank, Timothy Oguntayo has tendered his resignation.

There is the possibility that CBN may hand over Skye bank to the Asset Management Company of Niger, AMCON.


The non-performing loan of the bank would be bought over by AMCON and put in huge effort to recover them from the bad debtors.
