The corporation said this in a statement made available to our correspondent on Saturday and signed by the Head, Communications and Public Affairs, Mohammed Kudu. The Central Bank of Nigeria had on Friday revoked the operating licence of Skye Bank Plc with immediate effect. The Governor of the CBN, Mr Godwin Emefiele, said during a press briefing in Lagos that Skye Bank would now be taken over by Polaris Bank, which would take over all the assets and liabilities of the defunct entity. The NDIC, in the statement, said following the revocation of the operating licence of Skye Bank by the CBN, the NDIC had commenced the processes for its liquidation. The statement read in part, “The NDIC carried out the Bridge Bank option to resolve the crisis in Skye Bank Plc in order to make certain that its depositors are fully protected as their deposits with Polaris Bank Limited remain insured under the NDIC Act. “The customers of Skye Bank Plc can also continue to transact their businesses with Polaris Bank Limited thereby ensuring the non-disruption of their banking transactions. “Furthermore, the adoption of the Bridge Bank model for the resolution of (the crisis in) Skye Bank Plc, guarantees that most of the employees of that bank will not lose their jobs and they will continue their employment with Polaris Bank Limited under fresh contracts of employment. “The NDIC, as Deposit Insurer, acted to ensure the continued safety of depositors’ funds and to proactively manage potential threats to financial system stability.”]]>
