It is closely trailed by Kano, Abuja and Anambra states with 806, 745 and 171, respectively.

The remaining states of the federation have 261 licensed BDCs

“The CBN will continue to play its statutory and interventionist role to promote the orderly growth, development and sustainability of the sector, through effective supervision and robust enforcement of compliance with applicable extant laws and regulations,” the report added.
