At the same time, the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation has sold Polaris Bank to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria AMCON. AMCON has been given the task restoring Polaris profitability, so that it can be sold to investors.
AMCON has announced it will invest N786 billion to bring Polaris’ net value to zero .
