This Morning, I posted how Access Bank took over Etisalat but it’s now revealed that it’s not just Access Bank but Ten Nigerian banks in total were involved in the massive lending service to Etisalat that cumulated to some billions of Naira.
The take-over came as a result of a futile effort by Emerging Markets Telecommunications Services, EMTS, promoted by-one time Chairman, United Bank for Africa, UBA, Hakeem Bello-Osagie, to reach agreement with the banks on debt restructuring plan in the protracted $1.72 billion (about N541.8 billion) debt impasse. Below is the list of the banks.

THE LENDERS INCLUDE

1. Zenith Bank

2. GT Bank

3. First Bank

4. UBA,

5. Fidelity Bank

6. Access Bank,

7. Ecobank,

8. FCMB

9. Stanbic IBTC Bank and

10. Union Bank.
