We…

It was a star-studded evening. Celebrities an…

What began as a tweet has become a tipping point. In a moment that is quickly being hailed as the dawn of a new era in Nigerian banking, former Minister for Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka, walked into the Regional Headquarters of Sterling Bank in Abuja on Friday, where he opened a personal bank account as a show of solidarity with the bank’s groundbreaking decision to eliminate all charges on local online transfers.
