Nigerians Blast Buhari Govt Over New Rule For Self Certification In Banks

Following a notice released by the Federal Government requesting Nigerians with bank accounts to do “self certification” on Thursday, Nigerians have blasted the Buhari led administration.

It was earlier reported that the Federal Government has announced that all account holders in Financial institutions such as Banks and Insurance companies are required to obtain complete and submit self certification forms to their respective financial institutions.

According to the notice which was released by the Federal Inland Revenue Service, all account holders in Financial Institutions (Banks, Insurance Companies, etc) are required to obtain, complete and submit Self – Certification Forms to their respective Financial Institutions.

“Persons holding accounts in different financial institutions is required to complete & submit the form to each one of the institutions. The forms are required by the relevant financial institutions to carry out due diligence procedures in line with the Income Tax Regulations 2019.

Many angry Nigerians have shown their displeasure over the notice, accusing the Buhari led administration of incompetence and making life difficult for the common people.

Many wondered why government, which already has their data in various forms, in BVN, National ID Card, Voters Card and Drivers Licence, wants to subject them to stress, by queueing for ‘self certification at banks”.

INFORMATION:

This is to notify the general public that all account holders in Financial Institutions (Banks, Insurance Companies, etc) are required to obtain, complete and submit Self – Certification Forms to their respective Financial Institutions.

#Nigeria Leaders derive so much joy in stressing common masses. They are always denting our hopes that this country #Naija will be great one day.

Na you do National ID card, na you do SIM registration, you even did Bank Verification Number to align accounts but you are here again talking “Self-Certification. Even if you are confused about running government, can you at least pretend not to be confused?

Dear @NigeriaGov, what is this about please and why is it being put in place? Your communication does not provide sufficient information and, as currently communicated, seems like another never-ending verification exercise that will frustrate the public for little or no gain. https://t.co/qDa0JlLfkb

Do they even understand the number of years wasted in working hours when they set up these things? Like, does anyone even bother about Nigeria’s productivity when they raise these ISLAGIATT Ideas that repeatedly send Nigerians spending their lives queuing for the same things?
