In a move geared towards encouraging investors to repatriate their profits from their enterprises, the Central Bank of Nigeria, or CBN, and the Free Trade Zone Authority, or FTZA, have started working to develop offshore banking in the zones in Nigeria.
 
Prof. Adesoji Adesugba, managing director of the Nigeria Export Processing Zone Authority, said that having off-shore banking operations in the FTZs is a factor that would further increase investors’ confidence in the nation’s FTZs operations in an interview with Vanguard Maritime Report on the sidelines of the three-day conference to mark the 30th anniversary of the FTZ in Nigeria.
 
Adesugba also stated that Nigeria must implement off-shore banking in FTZs as a best practice in order to improve investor activities in the FTZs.
 
He said:”The CBN is in charge of processing off-shore banking in the FTZs and the FTZA and the CBN have met over the issue for almost two years and we are still meeting. The document to establish thee off-shore banking operations is ready.
We are just awaiting the approval of the CBN to commence operations in the Free Zones because Free Zones enterprises are not allowed to enjoy the facilities of the banking system in the Nigerian territory.
 
“So we need an off-shore banking system. There is no way you can do business without having a bank, so that is what we are asking for. It’s high time we start that.
 
“Every other Free Zone outside Nigeria has that kind of system. It’s not new, but in Nigeria, we still don’t have it. It is an incentive for investors because that is the first thing they ask for when they come in the Free Trade Zones.
 
“The absence of an off-shore banking counts against us, so we are asking the Central Bank to please fast-track that for us to have it.
