A Bureau de Change operator in Wuse Zone 4, Abubakar Alhasan, told DAILY POST that “dollars are sold at a minimum rate of N1,500 per dollar on Thursday from N1,505 the previous day.”.
This showed that the Naira gained N5 against the dollar compared to N1505 traded on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, at the official market, the Naira stood at N1,509.03 per dollar as of Wednesday from N1,507.2 traded on Tuesday this week, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s official data.
