Following this directive by the CBN,
http://www.cenbank.org/Out/2015/BPSD/BVN%20LINKAGE%20OPTIONS.pdf
all banks are directed to link your BVN once you have it to your other existing accounts by email or sms or web portal or phone call.
so, If you have your BVN already, here is how to link it to your other accounts without going to the bank.
A. firstly, ask their twitter customer care team if there is an sms code or online portal or email address you can send your bvn details to while waiting for the answer,
B. google to see if there is an sms code for BVN linking for the bank,
C. then google to see if there is an online portal for BVN linking for the bank,
D. if not, and if the twitter team havnt answered, try their facebook customer care team,
E.call their customer care if all fails,
F.and then if all these still fail, go to the bank.
Here are those i got my hands on already. Note that the list is not exhaustive.
