Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The naira recorded the highest two-day gain against the United States dollar at the official foreign exchange market.<\/p>\n

The Central Bank of Nigeria\u2019s data showed that the Naira rose to N1,358.28 on Wednesday, up from N1,372.91 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

This means that the naira appreciated by N14.63 against the dollar on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

Recall that on Tuesday, the country\u2019s currency gained N17.45 against the dollar, meaning in the last two days, the naira strengthened by N32.08 at the official foreign exchange market.<\/p>\n

This means that the country\u2019s currency is gradually racing to N1300 per dollar, the last time it was exchanged at that rate was in March 2024.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the black market, the naira stood at N1,460 per dollar as of Wednesday, according to multiple Bureau De Change operators in Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.<\/p>\n

The uptrend of the naira at the official foreign market comes at a time when the country\u2019s external reserves extended their surge to $46.70 billion as of February.<\/p>\n
