The management of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) says it received about 80 customer complaints in 2025, out of which 50 have been successfully resolved, with affected customers fully refunded. The agency clarified that cases involving theft are referred to security agencies, as such matters fall outside its statutory mandate. The programme was organised by the NDIC to commemorate the 2025 World Savings Day celebration and was held at the school premises on Thursday, February 12, 2026. Abubakar further stated that the sensitisation exercise was initially planned for 2025 but was shifted to 2026 due to unforeseen circumstances, including school examination schedules. According to him, about 2,000 students across 10 states in three geopolitical zones have so far benefitted from the NDIC’s financial inclusion and education sensitisation programme, which has recorded positive outcomes.
