This downturn comes on the heels of a recent period during which the naira showcased signs of recovery. After rebounding from ₦1300 per dollar to ₦990, the currency’s newfound stability has once again been disrupted.
The recent crash, witnessing a shift from ₦950/1$ to ₦1150/1$, raises concerns about the volatility of the foreign exchange market. It comes just under 24 hours after the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, expressed confidence in the strength of the naira.
In a bold statement, the government asserted that dollar speculators would be taken aback, and the naira would strengthen, aiming for an exchange rate between ₦500 to ₦600 per dollar.
