The Nigeria Bankers Committee has promised to provide fund for the rebuilding of burnt and damaged police stations, businesses as well as facilities in Lagos and other states.
The promise was made, on Monday, at the “Lets Rebuild Lagos: Dialogue and Partnership” event organised by the state government and held at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Ikeja.
The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Godwin Emefiele, while speaking at the event said Bankers Committee under the CaCovid Alliance would, by next week, present a blueprint ” that would provide support that would effect the rebuilding of police stations and support youths for the next 5yrs.”
“The CaCovid are committed to the rebuilding of all the 44 police stations damages during the protest. The Bankers Commitee will provide funds to rebuild those stations and provisions of all damaged facilities. All those whose businesses were looted and damaged would be restocked. All bank’s CEOs have been directed to take stocks of those who have loans with them and those who do not have, all customers who were affected.
“We would be appealing to members of the organised private sectors to join our efforts to work together to rebuild our country devastated by the incident,” he said.
