The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has affirmed with a statement that it will not convert forex in domiciliary accounts to naira.
The Trade and Exchange Department of the CBN aptly denies any such arrangements.
Apparently, a circular, with the CBN logo endorsed by the department have been spreading through social media platforms claiming that the CBN will convert forex to naira.
