Naira has started the new week with a massive fall at the black market.

 

 

Newsonline reports that the Nigerian official currency, Naira on Monday, January 24, 2022, fell massively against the British Pounds and Euro, days after maintaining same position at the parallel market better known as the black market.

Even though the dollar to naira opened in the parallel market at ₦570 per $1 today, Newsonline reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does not recognise the parallel market, otherwise known as the black market. The apex bank has therefore directed anyone who requires forex to approach their bank, insisting that the I&E window is the only known exchange.

Meanwhile, Newsonline Nigeria reports that the USD started this week at ₦570 in Parallel Market also known as Black Market on Monday, January 24, 2022 in Lagos Nigeria, same amount it opened at last week Monday, January 17, 2022.
