CBN Scraps Cash Deposit Limits, Raises Weekly Withdrawal Threshold The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) today removed the limit on cash deposits and raised the weekly cash withdrawal limit across all channels to N500,000, up from N100,000. The apex bank disclosed this in a circular to all banks titled “Revised Cash-Related Policies”, signed by Dr. Rita Sike, Director, Financial Policy & Regulation Department.

South-East Lags Behind in Federal Student Loan Uptake as NELFUND Data Shows Sharp Regional Gap

South-East Records Lowest Applications for NELFUND Student Loans as Government Flags ‘Lack of Interest’ New data from the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) covering May 2024 to October 2025 has revealed that institutions in the South Eastern region account for some of the lowest application numbers for the Federal Government’s interest-free student loan scheme — despite the programme being designed to expand access to higher education nationwide. The top 10 institutions with the highest application volumes are dominated by schools in the South-West , North-Central , and North-West , raising concerns about a widening regional disparity in access to the loan scheme.

Security analysts warn that this bold threat reflects the terrorists’ growing confidence and the weakness of current counter-terrorism responses. Many fear it could signal a dangerous escalation—one that places not only civilians but the nation’s leadership and defense institutions at heightened risk. T...
