Brand News Day Nigeria reports that the Nigerian official currency, Naira has fallen against the US dollar for the second time in a week in February 2022 the second month of the new year, after maintaining N570/per $1 at the black market since January 20, 2022.
This online news platform understands that the naira has fallen against the United States dollar at the black market for the second time since the start of the second month of the year 2022, exchanging at N572/per $1, days after it maintained its position of N570 per dollar to naira.
The local currency opened at N572.00 per $1 at the parallel market otherwise known as the black market on Tuesday, 8 February 2022, in Lagos Nigeria after it closed N571.00 per $1 on Monday morning, February 7, 2022.
Even though the dollar to naira opened in the parallel market at ₦572 per $1 today, Brand News Day Nigeria reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does not recognise the parallel market, otherwise known as the black market. The apex bank has therefore directed anyone who requires forex to approach their bank, insisting that the I&E window is the only known exchange.
Brand News Day Nigeria reports that at the black market, the players bought a dollar for N567 and sold for N571 on Tuesday morning, February 8, 2022, after they bought N566 and sold for N571 on Monday morning, February 7, 2022.
Despite that the Nigerian Naira has fallen at the black market, it, however, showed strength at the official market, gaining more than N1 naira, from what it traded weeks after the CBN adjusted the dollar to the naira exchange rate.
The exchange rate between the Naira and the US dollar according to the data posted on the FMDQ Security Exchange where forex is officially traded showed that the naira opened at ₦415.42 per dollar, but later closed at ₦416.50 per $1 the same day, representing a change of 0.04%.
Meanwhile, BrandNewsDay reports that the USD started this week at ₦571 in Parallel Market also known as Black Market on Monday, February 7, 2022, in Lagos Nigeria, after it opened at ₦570 last week Monday, January 31, 2022.
