Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The naira further depreciated against the dollar in the foreign exchange market.<\/p>\n

The FMDQ data showed that the naira again weakened to N1660.49 per dollar on Thursday from N1659.69 exchanged on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Though the naira depreciated by N0.8 against the dollar on Thursday, it has lost N107.5 in the last three days.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the black market, the naira exchanged at N1705 per dollar on Thursday, the same rate as Wednesday.<\/p>\n

This comes as FX transaction turnover stood at $330.18 million on Thursday from $217.86 million recorded on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Olayemi Cardoso, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said on Wednesday, while speaking at the Nigerian Economic Summit, NES, that a weak naira is advantageous with adequate investment into the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of persuasion, what we need now is to ensure that investments are here. Take, for example, now it may seem like a threat in the sense that the exchange rate has come down so low,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The development comes as the World Bank said the naira is among the worst-performing currencies in Africa.<\/p>\n

Naira\u2019s fluctuations in the FX market have continued untamed despite interventions by the Central Bank of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
