Mr. Moses Tule, Director of Monetary Policy, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has stoutly defended the recent restrictions placed on forex by the apex bank, saying it is a move to stem gradual erosion of value of the Naira.
The CBN had placed a ban on importers of certain commodities from accessing foreign exchange from the forex window. Tule was a guest speaker at a Forum organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) that sought to bring together the regulator and the private sector to discuss urgent and topical issues that have implications for the economy.
