“The BDCs are in turn to sell to eligible end users at a spread of not more than 1.5 per cent above the purchase price,” he said.
He directed all eligible BDCs to commence payment of Naira deposit to some designated CBN Naira deposit account numbers.
“All BDCs are advised to continue to abide by the rules and conditions as stipulated in our earlier operational guidelines,” he said.
