Just as the Federal government announced the extension of the lockdown for additional two weeks, Nigerians on twitter has started a campaign urging the federal government to pay Nigerians via their bvn.

The Bank Verification Number commonly called BVN is a biometric identification system implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria to curb or reduce illegal banking transactions in Nigeria. It is a modern security measure in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 1958 to reduce fraud in the banking system.

Nigerians cited Namibia and Canada as instances where the governments have started transferring money directly into citizens bank accounts and every other means employable.

Do think think the president government will bow to such call from Nigerians?
