CBN Foreign exchange intervention funds shall neither be tradable in the inter-bank Foreign Exchange Market nor sold to BDCs. Payment for goods and services provided in Nigeria by resident companies and individuals are not be made in foreign currency. The general public is to note that it is a criminal offence as stipulated in section 3
5 20 (5) of the CBN Act 2007 for any person or body corporate to refuse the acceptance of Naira as Legal tender currency for payment for goods and services in Nigeria. However, agencies of Government and operators permitted by law whose business transactions allow payment/receipts in foreign currency are exempted. The CBN shall advise the list of exempted government agencies and operators from time to time. 7. BSD/DIR/GEN/LAB/09/033: REVIEW OF OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR BLACKLISTING 7.1. The CBN, pursuant to its power under the BOFIA and the CBN Act, has issued the Operational Guidelines on Blacklisting ( the Guidelines ) in the financial industry; to provide guidance on the procedure for forwarding names to the Banker s Committee for inclusion in the Register of Terminated, Dismissed or Convicted Staff of Banks and Other Financial Institutions The Guidelines was premised on the requirements of Section 48 (4) of BOFIA which empowers the CBN on the recommendation of several financial institutions to blacklist a number of financial officers on the grounds of fraud or dishonesty of such officers Section 48(4) of BOFIA provides that Any person whose appointment with a bank has been terminated or who has been dismissed for reasons of fraud, dishonesty or convicted for an offence involving dishonesty or fraud shall not be employed by any bank in Nigeria Prior to this time, there has been an increase in the number of petitions to CBN for the reversal of blacklisted staff by banks due to failure of the management of these banks to effectively comply with the process of investigation and granting of fair hearing to erring staff before forwarding their names for blacklisting; as well as the attitude of these financial institutions to recommend its officers on issues bordering on matters like lateness to work, abandonment of duty, etc The Guidelines sets out the conditions for blacklisting, the procedures for blacklisting, the process for delisting and motion for reconsideration. 4
6 Some salient provisions of the Guidelines are examined below Objectives of the Guidelines The Guidelines are aimed at: preventing discredited and fraudulent staff from being recycled within the financial system; ensuring that only staff with credible references are employed within the financial system; deterring other staff from committing frauds/dishonest acts; holding accountable individuals that fail to meet the expected standards of integrity and professionalism required of bankers; and ensuring operational compliance by banks and other financial institutions with Section 48 (4) of BOFIA Procedure for Blacklisting a) The officer to be blacklisted must have been dismissed from employment or his employment terminated on the grounds of fraud, dishonesty or conviction for an offence involving dishonesty or fraud; b) A disciplinary committee must have conducted a thorough investigation whilst ensuring that the staff concerned has been granted fair hearing and consequently establish that the staff involved has committed an act of fraud and dishonesty; c) Thereafter, the decision of the committee must be communicated to the staff involved; d) The financial institution shall forward the returns (all relevant information such as name, state of origin, date of birth, gender etc.) on dismissed or terminated staff (including temporary and contract) on grounds of frauds and forgeries to the CBN along with a declaration from the bank that it followed due process before arriving at the decision which must be signed by the Managing Director; and e) Upon receipt of the foregoing, the CBN will review the documents and establish that due process was actually followed. Thereafter, the Head, Bankers Committee upon confirmation shall subsequently blacklist the persons Delisting It is pertinent to note that blacklisting may be reversed or reconsidered where the appropriate steps are taken. A blacklisted person can be delisted where there is a court order directing the CBN to issue a delisting order or where there is a request from the financial institution following CBN s concurrence to the motion for reconsideration. 5
7 A motion for reconsideration may be filed with the CBN where there is new evidence or facts which were not made available during the investigation and may probably alter the result of the investigation Premised on the above, the Disciplinary Committee of the affected institution may be asked to review the case and after the review where it is established that the staff was not guilty of fraud or acts of dishonesty, the financial institution would initiate the delisting process by writing to the CBN to delist such a person from its black book. The financial institution is therefore expected to forward the full report of its investigation to the CBN for review after initiating the delisting process Also important to note is that where the CBN determines that due process was not followed or the offence listed is not a blacklistable offence, the CBN will sanction the erring financial institution for not adhering to the provision of this guideline as empowered by Section 60 of BOFIA.
