Nigeria is one of those countries that are commercially active with lots of banks operating in it.
There are numerous banks in Nigeria to the extent that, when one want to open a bank account, a lot of option pops up on which of the Banks in Nigeria he or she is going to patronize by having an account with them.
One Unique thing about Nigerian banks is that they all operate in the same way and manner: Having almost the same rule governing their banking Operations.
When there is a latest update in one of banks, others tend to follow suit by effecting those changes as well.
Speaking of banks in Nigeria, I will like to give an Honorable mention to First Bank Nigeria Plc which as the name appears is the very first Bank to operate in Nigeria.
