The Nigerian top bank maintained an exchange rate of under NGN500:USD1 for several months prior to the apparent depreciation from the naira. The need for one naira from the dollar fluctuated between NGN600 and NGN800 throughout this time around. The CBN apparently switched lower many demands to deflate the naira during this period.
However, when Tinubu required office on May 29th, rumors started to flow in Nigeria the CBN was intending to devalue the naira. Others have experienced Nigerian President Tinubu’s sudden suspension of CBN governor Godwin Emefiele as proof he intends to handle the promise he earned on his inauguration day. Meanwhile, on June 16th, the CBN tweeted to Nigerians the significance of a fluctuating currency rate.
The Central Bank mentioned:
“The I and E [import and export] market operates by a willing buyer willing seller system, where a business with interest in Forex seeks out another entity with foreign currency to market in an agreed cost with an approved dealer.”
