Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Introduces FX Verification System Portal for Importers

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has introduced a foreign exchange (FX) price verification system (PVS) portal, according to a statement issued by the apex bank on Thursday.

The statement said a price verification report from the portal is now mandatory for all Form M requests, effective from August 31, 2023.

The Form ‘M’ is a declaration of intention to import physical goods into Nigeria.

“Following the successful conduct of the pilot run and various trainings held with all the banks, the Central Bank of Nigeria hereby announces the Go- Live of the Price Verification System (PVS),” the statement reads.

“All applications for Forms M shall be accompanied by a valid price verification report generated from the price verification portal.

“For the avoidance of doubt, by this circular, the price verification report has become a mandatory trade document precedent to the completion of a Form M.”

“All authorized dealers are, hereby, advised to bring this to the attention of their customers”.

CBN also said any case of infraction would be appropriately sanctioned.

“Please, ensure compliance,” the bank urged exporters.

The move is understood to be part of efforts by the CBN to sanitize the forex market after it lamented that illegal activities and speculation are harming the naira.

On Wednesday, the acting CBN governor of the CBN, Folashodun Shonubi, said foreign exchange market speculators should be mindful of their actions, warning that they would inevitably face substantial losses once the government initiates its proposed strategies to stabilize the naira.

The head of the central bank also said that the government intends to take stern measures against those engaged in speculative activities within the foreign exchange market.

“We do not believe that the changes going on in the parallel market are driven by pure economic demand and supply, but are topped by speculative demand from people,” he said.

The naira has significantly improved its performance this week, gaining about N100 in the parallel market. The naira was trading around N740/$1 in the Investor & Exporter window and around N860 in the parallel market.

Last week, the CBN attributed the woeful performance of the naira in the foreign exchange market to the diversion of diaspora remittances to the black market.

“With those remittances, the dollars have come in, we know the dollars have come in but we don’t see them in the official system. So, they must be going somewhere and somewhere,” Shonubi said.

“And the challenge with the black market, unofficial market or parallel market or whatever name you want to call it, it is as a result that it is not regulated, and it becomes an easy place to have criminal activities.

“We investigate bankers, not just bankers, anybody who has committed an offense, the first thing they want to do is to run to the black markets, change it to the dollars because it is less money to carry around.”

The apex bank boss said the CBN is implementing measures within the country to manage illicit remittances. The financial regulator said putting those measures in place would help direct remittance flows through proper channels, maximizing economic benefits for growth.

Lead with a Clear Purpose As You Instruct Subordinates (video)

What happens in your office when your supervisor gives you a hopeless, wasteful, and value-deficient task, which offers no value to the company’s strategic objective? Do you just go ahead or find a better way to explain the lack of purpose on that task?

When you try to use a basket to hold water, or push an armoured vehicle to a garage for repair, or maybe it ran out of fuel, you may be busy, but you are not adding real value.

This also calls for what supervisors and leaders do. Indeed, having the right to issue instructions does not mean anything goes. Have you given someone an instruction to do something when you know the outcome is wholly immaterial to the project’s success? Yes, let us keep him/her busy, but yet, if you check, resources are wasted! #leadPurposefully

Comment on Feed

Comment 1: The mindset that people need to keep working even if it is non-value adding is a thing that needs to be worked on. Leaders need to know that it is expected of them to pre-plan and project manage their teams efficiently this will allow them see what needs doing ahead of time. Also, as a leader, you will need to ask, how can we do this piece of task in the most efficient way? Are there tech tools and hacks that can get us there in time? If you don’t work efficiently as a leader, you will lose influence.

Comment 2: It is wise to take stock of what you have and where you are before embarking on a mission that could lead to disgrace.

Comment 3:It’s a very wrong mentality of some leaders . ” keep them working ” even if they have to exert their energy with no useful work output , all on the name of keeping them busy . An energy that should have been reserved for useful work is expended on nothing.  But atimes, it is not the leader’s call, but might be the subordinate’s bad mentality as well. ” let us keep working ” even if it is not useful and our energy is depleted- eye service .

Comment 4: Conflict of opinions is a regular occurrence experienced in the workplace.

This could arise between two or more colleagues and between people of different hierarchy, say, a boss and his subordinate.

We must handle conflicts, divergence of opinions and disagreements as quickly as they come, but how we do this tells, to a great extent, our depth of experience and level of professionalism.

Take for an example, a disagreement between a General Manager (GM) and his subordinate Project Manager (PM). For a task at hand, it comes (almost) natural for the boss (GM) to assert his opinion by giving a clear instruction on what is to be done and how.
In this case, the subordinate (PM) will be left with fewer options but to carry out the instructions.

If the PM feels frustrated because he is convinced that his own idea of how the task is to be executed will yield the even better result, whereas, that of his boss (GM) will be unproductive,

The PM may tell his own subordinates of the disagreement, just to give vent to his frustration, but in so doing, he must maintain professional conduct and give respect to his GM and his instruction.
He needs not portray his manager in a bad light to his own subordinates but learn to LEAD BY INFLUENCE.

However, creative and motivational tendencies are harnessed and collosal results are better achieved when the task is clearly communicated, the tools and the right environment are provided but the “how” is given to the experienced subordinates to explore themselves.

Should the subordinates encounter difficulty during execution using their chosen style, they feel free to speak up to the manager for assistance, or brainstorming.

My Response: effective communication as you hinted is the PILLAR of every effective team. Without it, nothing works.

As wildfires rage in Hawaii, the scale of the climate crisis is more apparent than ever. Conditions seem to be worsening year after year, with a need for a global focus on sustainable practices apparent now more than ever. As the world grapples with carbon emissions, there is a need for greater involvement from the crypto industry. This article aims to shed light on eco-friendly cryptocurrencies, such as Chimpzee (CHMPZ), Ecoterra (ECOTERRA), and DogeMiyagi (MIYAGI).

It aims to drive research, innovation, and practical solutions for environmental challenges through crypto-based incentives. As the blockchain gains traction, it has the potential to become a driving force behind eco-friendly technological advancements.

As the consequences of unchecked carbon emissions shake the world, there is a growing need for more industries to take the lead and contribute to the solution. While the crypto industry can bask in the blame for the scale of the problem, it seeks to contribute to the solution as well.

Eco-friendly cryptocurrencies like DogeMiyagi, Chimpzee, and Ecoterra embody a shift towards more sustainable blockchain practices. They challenge the status quo of energy-intensive crypto mining. Their innovative answer to the problem is two-pronged: reduce carbon footprints and inspire a community to join the fight through their investment choices.

DogeMiyagi’s energy-efficient infrastructure, Chimpzee’s support for environmental initiatives, and Ecoterra’s commitment to sustainable solutions collectively pave the way for a greener future. Join the movement, make a difference, and help clean up the industry by considering DogeMiyagi’s presale as an investment choice.
