Stop Nigerian Banks charging Diaspora community for Bank Verification Process

The Issue

The requirement to carry out the Bank Verification Process was brought up by the banks for the benefit of the banks and the CBN. in Nigeria, this exercise is carried out free of any charge if you walk into any bank, and you only need to do it once regardless of the number of bank account you have across different banks.
It is coming as a shock to me that Nigerian Banks are asking Nigerians in the Diaspora to pay around £30 to do this process. This is unjust and will not be allowed to happen. We have bank branches here in the UK, and we have Nigerian Missions in the diaspora, these places should conduct the verification just like it is being done in Nigeria, otherwise the cost should be borne by the various banks.

Please help stop this infraction NOW.
