Latest news report trending now according to SaharaReporters, the Federal government is allegedly
planning to devalue the naira following the abysmal depreciation it has
continued to suffer against the dollar.
As at today, N520 exchanges for a dollar at the parallel market
leaving more Nigerians in economic hardship as prices of goods and
services skyrockets.
President Muhammadu Buhari had succumbed to pressure by devaluing the naira in May 2016, but there has been no impact of that to the economy forcing for another call for the naira to be devalued.
Financial experts have advocated a further devaluation if the
country is to attract the needed foreign inflows to be able to jumpstart
the economy as it grapples with its worst recession in 25 years.
With dollars becoming scarcer and the economy on the brink of its
first full-year recession since 1991, Nigerian businesses are being
forced into the black market. There, each dollar costs N523, almost 70
percent more than the official rate.
