The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), on Thursday, in an advertorial in a newspaper publication, listed Heritage Bank's assets nationwide for sale following the revocation of the licence of the bank by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

According to NDIC, interested parties and public competitive bidders are invited to come for an inspection of the assets and submit their bids at the corporation's office in Lagos. The bids must include 10 per cent of the bid amount in a certified bank draft, and successful bidders must pay the remaining balance within two weeks of notification.
