According to Omolara Duke, Director of the Financial Markets Department, the disqualified banks failed to meet the stipulated criteria, resulting in their exclusion from the auction. The CBN sold $876.26 million to 26 eligible banks at an exchange rate of N1,495 per dollar. The disqualified bids, valued at $313.69 million, were attributed to four banks that missed the submission deadline and two banks that failed to adhere to the prescribed bidding template.”
The statement reads:
“While bids valued at US$313.69 million from 6 (six) banks were disqualified. Of the disqualified bids, 4 (four) banks submitted their bids after the cut-off time of 3:00 pm, while 2 (two) banks did not provide bids in the template submitted.
