CBN says website not hacked

Contrary to claims in the social media, the website of the Central Bank of Nigeria

(CBN) (www.cbn.gov.ng) has not breached by malicious persons, the apex bank said Friday night.

“We wish to state categorically that our website is secure,” Osita Nwanisobi, CBN Ag. Director, Corporate Communications, said in a statement.

“We wish to assure the Nigerian public and indeed all our other stakeholders that the CBN

website is adequately protected and that there is no cause for alarm.

“We also wish to advise members of the online community to desist from peddling false news aimed at undermining the integrity of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which is our collective asset,” the apex bank further said.
