A statement jointly signed by chief corporate communications officer,
NNPC Ltd, Olufemi Soneye, and
acting director, Corporate Communications Department, CBN, Hakama Sidi Ali, said the CBN has provided enhanced digital platforms for all transactions and has established specific limits to manage NNPCL transactions.
Both parties have also committed to further strengthening the collaboration to ensure seamless operations of the commercial NNPC Limited and noted that NNPCL continues to have banking transactions with commercial banks as required.
