Newsone reports that the Naira had its first major all time fall against the United States dollar on Monday, August 30, 2021, sliding to an all-time low of N527 against the United States dollar at the parallel market otherwise known as the black market.
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.’
