The nation’s currency also fell on Thursday to the pounds to N807.394 from N805.64 a day earlier. While against the Euro, Nigerian currency dropped in value to N713.05 from N710.08.
According to data obtained from the FMDQ, Dollar supply through the daily foreign exchange market turnover declined by 47.20 percent to $64.80 million on Thursday from $95.39 million recorded on Wednesday.
The drop in dollar supply consequently increased pressure and reversed Naira’s gains on Tuesday. It was the same fate for Naira against the British pound and Euro.
