Unity Bank Plc has received a supply of foreign exchange (forex) from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to adequately meet eligible demands from customers.

The bank assured its customers that there is sufficient forex provision to meet legitimate needs. “Customers are encouraged to come forward with their respective demands”, a statement signed by Nwokpoku Jonah Ogbonna, head, external communications and media relations reads.

The CBN last week, resumed dollar sales for school fees and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

The CBN has also made complete arrangements to resume foreign exchange sales to the BDC segment of the market for business travels, personal travels, and other designated retail uses, as soon as international flights resumed.

This was in view of the gradual easing of the COVID-19 lockdown both globally and in Nigeria.
