Keystone bank confirms acquisition by Federal Government
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Keystone Bank Limited confirmed that it is now fully owned by the federal government of Nigeria. This announcement follows the court’s dissolution of its former shareholder, Sigma Golf Nigeria Limited.

The Lagos State Special Offences Court during its sitting in Ikeja, Lagos on Tuesday February 11, 2025, ordered the forfeiture of the shares previously held.

The statement reads “Keystone Bank Limited wishes to clarify media report of a judgement by the Lagos State Special Offences Court, sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, regarding the status of the former shareholders of the bank: Sigma Golf Nigeria Limited and Alhaji Umaru H. Modibbo.

“Recall that on January 10, 2024, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced the dissolution of the previous Board and Management of the Bank for corporate governance breaches. The CBN followed this action with the appointment of a new Board and Management for the Bank.
Subsequently the Federal Government through the EFCC filed a court action at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, against the former owners challenging the acquisition of the bank.

“At the sitting of the court today, February 11, 2025, the court ordered the forfeiture of the shares of the Bank previously held by the shareholders in favour of the Federal Government of Nigeria. The implication of this judgment is that Keystone Bank Limited is now fully owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“This development marks a significant milestone in our journey, reinforcing our stability and paving the way for a seamless recapitalization process. With this clarity, we are well-positioned for sustained growth, stronger partnerships, and enhanced profitability.

“Keystone Bank continues to strengthen its balance sheet while delivering exceptional value to its teeming stakeholders. The bank maintains a strong financial position, consistently fulfilling all its obligations and adhering to all regulatory requirements.

“We assure our customers that the bank remains safe, healthy, strong, and resilient.”
