Data from the Central Bank of Nigeria showed that the naira further firmed up to N1,596.68 per dollar on Wednesday from N1,599.70 traded on Tuesday.
This reflects a day-to-day gain of N3.02. DAILY POST reports that, unlike Tuesday, when the naira appreciated by just N0.20 per dollar, it recorded a stronger gain of N3.02 on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, on the black market, the naira depreciated by N3 to N1608 per dollar on Wednesday, down from N1605 traded the previous day.
A Bureau de Change operator in Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, Abubakar Alhasan, said, “We bought at N1602 per dollar and sell at N1608.”
