As of today, March 12, 2026, we are officially in the final countdown. The CBN has confirmed that 31 banks have now fully met the new capital requirements! This is a massive win for the stability of our financial system. However, there are still two banks 'awaiting verification.'
With the deadline on March 31st, do we expect a last-minute merger or a surprise acquisition for those remaining players? And for us on the NGX, do you think the 'Recapitalization Rally' is priced in already, or is there one last jump coming for the banking sector? Let's discuss!

Interesting development. With the deadline so close, it’ll be interesting to see if those remaining banks go for a quick merger or acquisition. As for the banking stocks, the big question now is whether the recapitalization rally is already priced in or if there’s still a final push left.

Amazing
 
With the deadline so close, we might still see a last-minute merger or acquisition. It will also be interesting to see if banking stocks have one more move left.
 
Exactly
