on

In a recent development, the Nigerian Naira has faced a significant devaluation against the US Dollar on the black market. Information collected from black market foreign exchange (FX) operators reveals the concerning trend in the foreign exchange rates.

According to these traders, the current exchange rate stands at an average of N1040 to $1 during the purchase of foreign currency from customers. Subsequently, they sell the foreign currency at a higher rate of N1050 to $1. However, it’s important to note that the exchange rate can exhibit variations based on the type of transaction, whether cash or transfer. Specifically, individuals possessing physical cash for exchange may receive a more favorable rate compared to those engaging in electronic transactions.

This significant depreciation in the value of the Naira against the US Dollar raises concerns about the stability of the nation’s currency and its potential impact on the economy. Market watchers and analysts are closely monitoring the situation to assess the factors contributing to this decline and potential implications for businesses and the general populace. Further developments are expected as authorities and financial institutions respond to this situation.
