“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.”
While urging all authorised dealers to inform their customers of the development, the CBN also said any case of infraction would be appropriately sanctioned.
The CBN added, “Please, ensure compliance.”
