Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria\u2019s currency, the Naira, appreciated against the US Dollar in the foreign exchange markets on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Data from the official FMDQ market indicated that the Naira closed on Friday at 780.14 Naira per US Dollar, representing a decrease of 216.61 Naira from the previous day when it traded at 996.75 Naira per US Dollar.<\/p>\n

In the parallel market, the Naira was exchanged for 1130 Naira per US Dollar on Thursday, down from 1140 naira the previous day.<\/p>\n

Dayyabu Mistila, a Bureau de Change operator at Zone 4 Abuja, disclosed that Nigerians bought Dollars at N1100 on Friday, down from N1140 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Similarly, at the Binance P2P market, the Naira stood at 1054.2 Naira to the USD on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The development comes barely 24 hours after a report emerged that the Central Bank of Nigeria had vowed to clamp down on currency speculators.<\/p>\n

The Naira strengthened against the Dollar when the Central Bank of Nigeria cleared forex backlogs to some commercial banks and airlines last week.<\/p>\n
