They're not close before

Niyeal:
They're not close before

They've been closed bro just ATMs working

If they open banks and office, dose it get across to istrative office, like schools, marketing, production companies and the likes?

Okay, normal life resumes on Monday. For those that believes the number of cases will increase as soon as the lockdown is lifted, you will be shocked.

Dis Covid whole shit in Nigeria looks so stupid to me n FIL of lies

I'm so scared for Nigeria.

They are easing lock down simply because of the ineptitude thereby willing to sacrifice the citizens.

Call me a prophet of doom if you like but all I see is a failed government willing to watch many die cos lives don't matter to them.

I pray for a miracle so this infection won't escalate.

That’s good but Nigerians should play safe

Somehow the economy just need to be opened
But that should be done with a lot of precautions

Good news....I had to travel from osun to ibadan to withdraw cash because banks are not open here and I don't AV an ATM card.

Gather here if u are happy for this news.

Cbn should just revamp e-banking. Crowd in the bank and at the ATM should disappear. Take a cue from Kenya.

Hope it's not second phase loading..am also scared

Where are you based. Few banks have been operating here since the lockdown

8am to 2pm is too small... Less people will be allowed into the bank so why reduce the working hours

Please I need to leave minna before I start begging on the street , anyone with a means to travel to Lagos , I am willing to pay ,

No be person wey get money for bank go dey happy for this one?

Opening of banks without money in the is a waste of lockdown relaxation......

What kind of conflicting news is this.
Lagos said 9am-3pm
FG is saying 8am- 2pm
Why can’t the FG allow states run their time based on what the Governors think is applicable to their respective states?
How many people can leave home 6am in Lagos and get go work by 8am?

Good. No cash transfer again. They exhausted d billions finished, the remaining ones are for North as before. Ameichi and tinubu, shame on you. U sold ur people to fulanis.

Please tell us more on this,I want to learn

Hmmmm... In as much as I want the lockdown to be relaxed, I just hope this will not increase the spread.

One of the indispensable institution. A great relief it'll be

Banks has been working.

This economy that people are in a rush to open, when cases goes way beyond what can be handled, the same economy will be forced to be closed for a way longer time.

This same Govt earlier this year told you guys before we had any case that they had capacity and were ready to tackle the virus, but see what is happening. This same govt due to pressure is now relaxing the lockdown when the cases are just starting to skyrocket and Nigerians still believe in the Govt's decision.

Will banks open despite the public holiday?

Good move

Great news

Good news to hear.....

Coronavirus cases are about to explode. And transfer of cash from one person to another will be the major source of transmission. I just pray to God America produces a cure very very soon.

does this government even care about the citizens? Open banks when the cases of covid-19 is on a high increase.... Na now my own physical isolation dey start
