The resolution followed a motion under Matters of Urgent Public
Importance moved by Tijani Yusuf (PDP-Kogi), which was unanimously adopted by
members through a voice vote.
Bank customers can withdraw from ATMs other than those of their banks
freely thrice a month, but subsequent withdrawals would attract a N65 charge.
Moving the motion, Yusuf expressed concern that banks across the
country had been extorting N65 from customers from every bank transaction while
the Central Bank of Nigeria failed to act.
He said that recently, banks in the UK were asked to pay customers
monies collected from them in the name of bank charges.
Also contributing on the matter, Rep. Aminu Suleiman (APC-Kano) accused
the CBN of not doing its job as a regulatory agency.
The House referred the matter to the Banking and Currency committee and
was directed to report back in four weeks for further legislative action.
