School Fees and Medicals Remain Eligible for FOREX Allocation - CBN

The Central Bank of Nigeria has reiterated that school fees and medicals are still eligible for FOREX allocation. The apex bank made this known to the general public through its Coomunications Director Ibrahim Mu'azu via an  advertorial placed in press and online platforms. The advertorial reads....
The Central Bank of Nigeria  wishes to clarify to the general public that it has NOT stopped the allocation and sale of Foreign Exchange for purposes of paying school fees and settlement of medical bills overseas. 

The Bank therefore urges members of the public to disregard any contrary information in respect thereof.

Despite assurances from the CBN, some persons have continued to suggest that the Bank had stopped the allocation of Foreign Exchange to Nigerians seeking to pay school fees and medical bills overseas. 

The Bank urges members of the public to discountenance such misinformation.

All genuine users desiring to obtain foreign exchange for the abovementioned
purposes are hereby urged to freely approach their banks
with their requests and appropriate documentation.
