The fall came few days after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) stopped foreign exchange sales to Bureaux de Change.
Meanwhile, Newsone Nigeria recalls that Godwin Emefiele, the CBN Governor, had on July 27, at the end of the Monetary Policy Committee meeting, announced the stoppage of forex sale to the BDCs, saying they had turned themselves into ‘agents that facilitate graft and corrupt activities of people who seek illicit fund flow and money laundering in Nigeria.’
However, since the decision was taken by the Godwin Emefiele-led CBN, Newsone reports that the Nigerian currency, Naira has continued to decline, sliding to N570 against dollar today, Friday, September 17, 2021.
