UNDERSTANDING BVN NIGERIA

UNDERSTANDING BVN
 BVN SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
For some of Nigerians that are yet to have BVN(bank verification number), should strive to have it. Today while watching NTA "Good morning news" CBN has made 30th June the dead line for BVN as it will affect any transactions after 30thjune including access to ATM. Also please  Don't update or register for the bvn online please. That's a new scam method, banks would not be liable for any fraud on your account. Go to any bank and do it and if they clear your account or have cleared it, that should serve as a lesson to do the right thing at the right time in the right way.
What actually is BVN:
After making some inquiries today, we discovered that some individuals  don't even know what BVN is. While some are still asking what's the penalty if one fails to do.
 Please BVN stands for Bank Verification Number.
The BVN was introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria and was launched February 14th last year. It is the registration of customers in the financial system using biometric technology. Biometric technology involves the process of recording a person’s unique physical traits such as fingerprints and facial features.
This record can then be used to correctly identify the person afterwards. Once a person’s biometrics has been properly captured, the person is given a Bank Verification Number or BVN.
According to the CBN, The objective of the BVN initiative is to protect  bank customers, reduce fraud and further strengthen the Nigerian banking system. Fraud is reduced because no two people have the same biometric information. Banks will therefore be able to c

heck the features of a person doing a transaction against the record, which the bank has captured thereby correctly identifying the owner of an account.
Enrolment
To enroll for the BVN, bank customers have to visit a branch of their bank, complete and submit the BVN enrolment form, after which, the biometric information such as fingerprints and facial imagery  are recorded. The customer is then issued an acknowledgment slip with transaction ID. Thereafter, BVN is created and the customer is alerted via SMS to arrange for pick-up.
Fast-Track Measures
In order to fast-track enrolment of customers for the BVN, the CBN October last year, stipulated targets and deadline for banks. The apex bank also made the BVN a condition for accessing loan.
Please endeavour to obtain yours

UNDERSTANDING INEC-NYSC ADHOC STAFF PAYMENTS

FOR NYSC-INEC ADHOC STAFF, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS WITH REGARDS TO YOUR STIPEND.

Diverse rumors have roared all over the country with regards to the amount stipulated by INEC to pay its Adhoc staff under the guise of NYSC. PLEASE UNDERSTAND AND STOP SPECULATING RUMORS. TWO BASIC EVIDENCE WILL BE USED HERE.

1. According to Nigeria Info 95.1 Abuja
ABUJA: Inya (@inya01) on the MIDDAY DIALOGUE

A press statement has been issued by the NYSC and here it is.

NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS
National Directorate Headquarters
Yakubu Gowon House
Maitama – Abuja

PRESS RELEASE

1. The attention of the NYSC Management has been drawn to an online publication misinforming Corps members that the allowance due to them for participation in the 2015 General Elections is N53,500.00. The originator of the false publication is also mobilizing them to shun the next election on 11 April unless this total sum is fully paid.

2. Our preliminary investigation has so far indicated that this publication did not emanate from our Corps members and it is a mischievous circulation by some unscrupulous elements to discourage Corps members from participating in the next election for whatever reasons best known to them.

3. To correct the misinformation, Management hereby wishes to put the record straight for public awareness and restate to Corps members in clear terms their true entitlement for the elections. The allowances for each Corps member is as follows:

(a) Training allowance of Four Thousand Five Hundred Naira (N4,500.00) only paid directly by INEC to Corps members for the training held before elections.

(b) For each of the two elections, a Corps member is entitled to a sum of Thirteen Thousand Naira (N13,000.00) only which breaks down to N9,000.00, N3,000.00 and N1,000.00 for honoraria, transportation and feeding respectively. This implies that for the two elections, the total allowance due to each Corps member is Twenty Six Thousand Naira (N26,000.00) only. The fund for these was approved by INEC and remitted directly into each of the NYSC state Secretariat’s account a week before the Presidential and National Assembly Elections.

3. Management has confirmed that the amount of N13,000.00 for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections has been paid and any Corps member who could not receive the payment latest 6pm on Tuesday 7 April should make a complaint through the necessary channels. Also, Management has directed that the N13,000 allowance for the 11 April Gubernatorial and State Assembly Elections should be paid in advance by all NYSC State Secretariats latest by Friday 10 April 2015. Corps members are however to note that for those who receive the advance payment for the 11 April election and thereafter opt out of participation for whatever reason, the paid amount will be deducted from their April 2015 monthly allowance.

4. Management wishes to seize this opportunity to appreciate the gallant and patriotic efforts of Corps members nationwide who braved all odds in spite of the challenges of intimidation, threats of violence and logistics shortcomings to give their best in the Presidential and National Assembly Elections of 28 March 2015. You are no doubt the unsung hero of that election. However, be reminded that the job is not yet completed. You are therefore called upon to get back immediately and prepare for next Saturday's election. Since the conclusion of the 28 March election, Management has carried out a comprehensive review of the security challenges and is more poised to ensure the safety and security of Corps members in the upcoming election of Saturday 11 April 2015.



Signed
Management

This implies that for the two elections, the total allowance due to each corps member is N26,000 only.”

According to statement, any corps member whom after receiving the payment refused to participate in the April 11 elections would have his or her monthly allowance for the month of April 2015 deducted in the same value.

It further explained that the fund as approved by INEC was remitted directly to all state secretariat of NYSC.

“The funds for these were approved by INEC and remitted directly into each of the NYSC state secretariat’s account a week before the presidential and National Assembly elections.
