THE DRAMATIC RECOVERY OF NAIRA IS UNRELENTING, SEE CURRENT EXCHANGE RATE.

The Nigerian currency on Friday afternoon exchanged between #380 (buying rate) and #390 (selling rate), stronger than #400 recorded on Thursday, while the pound sterling and Euro closed at #490 and #430.

At the Bureau De Change (BDC) window, the Naira was sold at #399 to the dollar, while the pound sterling and the Euro were sold at #500 and #400.

The Nigerian currency appreciated at the inter-bank market, closing at #307 to the dollar, from #308
posted on Thursday. Traders at the market said liquidity boost at the inter-bank market by the CBN was fast forcing the rate down at the market.

Meanwhile, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, the President of the Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), said CBN-licenced BDCs would incur regulatory losses of #130 million this week. Gwadabe told newsmen that the losses were coming from CBN’s disparity in applicable exchange rates among players in the market.

According to him, the public has refused to buy foreign exchange from Bureau De Changes, for unforeseen such as medicals, school fees, and personal and business travel allowances at a rate above #375 to the dollar.

The financial expert urged the CBN to promptly address the issue.

Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB). IBB and MKO Abiola were friends until the latter contested and won the June 12, 1993, presidential election, but the former would later cancel the election. Their relationship went sour, but before the annulment, Kola and Aisha were allegedly dating. At a time, it was speculated that they secretly got married.
