The management of Opay has denied reports that the fintech institution is going shutting down its operations indefinitely in the country. This firm’s management, in a media chat, stressed that its operation in Nigeria continues to exist, clarifying that the organisation is not embarking on any break.
The Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Opay, Dotun Adekunle, said: “We are aware of a false and misleading publication circulating across social media claiming that OPay will be going on an indefinite break from September 1, 2026, and advising customers to withdraw or transfer their funds. This claim is completely false. OPay is not going on any break. We remain fully operational, and our services continue as normal.
The circulating publication is not an official OPay communication.OPay is here, OPay is operating, and OPay is going nowhere, Opay is Okay,” he said.
In the same vein, Opay’s Chief Legal Counsel, Akinfolabi Rokosu, made it known that the firm is working with the Department of State Services, (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the source of the false information claiming that the company is shutting down its operations in Nigeria. Rokosu further added that the company had provided evidence to assist in identifying those responsible.
