First Bank of Nigeria Limited has debunked some media reports (not by The PUNCH) that its branches in the South-East part of the country have been closed due to the rising insecurity in the region. The bank noted that its branches in the South-East and in other parts of the country are “fully open for business”. First Bank’s Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Folake Ani-Mumuney, made this known in a statement on Wednesday. The statement titled, ‘Public Announcement’, read, “This is to inform the public that our South-East branches are fully open for business. Please disregard any news making the rounds that is contrary to this.
