The local currency in Nigeria (naira) is currently trading at over 2,000 against the British pound in the parallel market
Malam Ibrahim, a Bureau de Change operator in Wuse Zone 4, verified the rates on Monday, February 19.
He said: “Yes it is true, we are currently selling above N2,000 for the pounds and it is still about the heavy and consistent demand for these currencies.”
According to the Punch, the new rate increased from N1,930 recorded on Saturday and is currently the lowest point in the historical performance of the naira.
In a similar vein, the naira lost value about the dollar on the parallel FX market, where it is now unofficially trading at N1,673 from N1,670/$ on Friday.
