The Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN) has said all authorised dealers of fertilizer in the country are now prohibited from establishing Forms M for the importation of all NPK fertilizers.
An E-Form M is a mandatory documentation process put in place by the federal government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and the CBN, to monitor goods that are imported into the country as well as enable the collection of import duties where applicable.
