The local currency continued on a recovery note on Thursday with naira appreciating significantly against the dollar on the strength of recent interventions by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
From N1,536.83 in the previous day, the naira appreciated to N1,382.35/$ at the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM), the first time in a long while that the local currency would record such a massive gain.
This was coming 24 hours after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced it had cleared $7bn valid foreign exchange claims while increasing the country’s forex reserves.
