Currency dealers claim that the naira depreciated as a result of speculators’ strong demand for dollars as well as travelers’ needs for business, vacation, education, and health.
The naira however gained by 0.3 percent to N1498/$ in the official market on Thursday, according to data from FMDQ Securities Exchange, which calculates the rate. The currency gained after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) sold a little above $100 million to banks that did not get dollars in Tuesday’s sale of about $86 million.
