NAN reports that Mr Olayemi Cardoso, the CBN Governor, had on said the apex bank was planning new round of recapitalisation for the commercial banks.

Cardoso announced the plan on Friday at the 58th Annual Bankers’ Dinner, organised by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) in Lagos.

The ex-MAN chairman said the decision of CBN to raise the capital base of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) would make more loans available to the manufacturers.
