The Central Bank of Nigeria has stated that, at the moment, there is no ban on the allocation of foreign exchange for the payment of medical bills abroad and school fees.

The disclosure was made on Friday, by the Director, Corporate Communications of the CBN, Alh Muazu Ibrahim.

According to Ibrahim, the CBN was compelled to make the clarification as a result of the widespread insinuations in that the apex bank had stopped allocation of forex for these purposes.

‘There’s no ban on forex for school fees, medical bills’ – CBN
Kolapo Olapoju February 19, 2016


The Central Bank of Nigeria has stated that, at the moment, there is no ban on the allocation of foreign exchange for the payment of medical bills abroad and school fees.

The disclosure was made on Friday, by the Director, Corporate Communications of the CBN, Alh Muazu Ibrahim.

According to Ibrahim, the CBN was compelled to make the clarification as a result of the widespread insinuations in that the apex bank had stopped allocation of forex for these purposes.



“The Central Bank of Nigeria wishes to clarify to the general public that it has not stopped the allocation and sale of foreign exchange for purposes of paying school fees and settlement of medical bills overseas. The Bank therefore urges members of the public to disregard any contrary information in respect thereof.”

“Despite assurances from the CBN, some persons have continued to suggest that the Bank had stopped the allocation of Foreign Exchange to Nigerians seeking to pay school fees and medical bills overseas.”

“All genuine users desiring to obtain foreign exchange for the above-mentioned purposes are hereby urged to freely approach their banks with their requests and appropriate documentation.”

Lol, your username though! smiley

1. A year of study of the Korean language is to help you interact, adapt, solve little problems without help, and increase your chance of employment after your studies(BUT..., why BUT , keep reading....)
2.Korea is a very secure country, apart from the yearly threats of fire and brimstone of the mad bro up north, the country is safe.
3. Biotechnology related companies are present in Korea, but Korean Universities churn out Korean graduates having the same degree on a yearly basis, the probability of them picking a foreigner is 1/10 or inexistent. Even if you go to the SKY group of universities, MY OPINION is that it is still the same situation. The only program i can advise any Nigerian that has an hope of working here after graduation is to study ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION RELATED COURSES( BIG DATA, MIS, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING) et al.

Remember, this is my opinion.
I hope this helps.Goodluck.
