Since President Bola Tinubu assumed office as the leader of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the country’s currency has been on a persistent downward spiral in the foreign exchange market. The Naira’s exchange rate has experienced a dramatic shift from 450 to the dollar when President Tinubu took office to the current alarming rate of 789.37 Naira to the USD.
Economists and financial experts have cited various factors contributing to this sharp depreciation, including global economic challenges, fluctuating oil prices, and concerns about the government’s fiscal policies. This situation has led to increased uncertainty in the Nigerian economy, impacting businesses, foreign investments, and everyday citizens.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has not yet made an official statement regarding this recent decline in the Naira’s value. However, many are eagerly awaiting the government’s response and potential policy changes aimed at stabilizing the currency and restoring confidence in the financial markets.
As the Naira’s value continues to slide, there is growing apprehension about its long-term implications for Nigeria’s economy. The government faces the pressing challenge of implementing effective strategies to address this issue and prevent further erosion of the currency’s value.
