The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has accused Authorised Dealers in the foreign exchange market of reporting inaccurate and misleading information on transactions.
The apex bank warned that such dealers and their customers should desist from such reportage.
This was disclosed by the acting director, financial markets department at the CBN, Aliyu Ashiru, in a circular issued to all the market dealers on Wednesday.
