The naira continued depreciation against the dollar at the official foreign exchange market on Wednesday.

The Central Bank of Nigeria exchange rate data on Wednesday showed that the Naira weakened slightly to N1,549.26 on Wednesday from N1,549.04.

This means that the Naira marginally dropped by N0.22 against the dollar on Wednesday.

Media Talk Africa reports that this is the third time Naira has recorded depreciation against the dollar this week.

Meanwhile, at the Naira black market, the Naira gained N5 on Wednesday to close at N1,590 per dollar, up from N1,595 the previous day.

This showed that the naira ended Wednesday with sentiments at both foreign exchange markets.
