“Eligible BDCs interested in this transaction are directed to make the Naira payment the CBN deposit account numbers with them.
“Also, payment confirmation and all necessary documentation for disbursement are to be submitted at the appropriate CBN branches in Abuja, Awka, Kano, and Lagos.,’’ he said. (NAN)
