CBN instructs banks against misleading advert

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Central Bank of Nigeria has directed all banks, payment service providers, and other regulated financial institutions to immediately withdraw any advertisements or promotional materials that do not meet consumer-protection and fair-marketing standards.

The directive, issued in a circular signed by Olubunmi Ayodele-Oni on behalf of the Director of the Compliance Department, followed a review by the bank that found widespread inconsistencies in how institutions handle disclosure, transparency, and marketing obligations.
