About BDAN - Bank Directors Association of Nigeria

Get to know about BDAN

BDAN was established at the 13th Annual Bank Directors Seminar held in Abuja in June 1997 under the auspices of the industry regulators, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), and high-level support from FITC.

The Bank Directors Association of Nigeria (BDAN) is a non-profit making organisation, Limited by Guarantee, which was set up to be an effective forum for representing the interests of Bank Directors in Nigeria. BDAN seeks to promote sustainable banking best practices within Banks in Nigeria and collaborate with regulatory agencies and other stakeholders to ensure the public’s interest. BDAN is the only umbrella body of Bank Directors in Nigeria which has created a platform for members to articulate Directors’ views and make representations to the regulatory authorities on issues that affect the individual Directors and the industry as a whole.

BDAN is a product of the decisions reached at one of the annual Continued Education Programme (CEP) for Directors of Banks and Financial Institutions in the late 1990s.
