Naira has been struggling against major currencies around the world. This has reflected in the prices of commodities.
In his motion, Bamidele said the Naira has lost 9% of its value in the past 6 months.
He noted that the currencies of other African countries are gaining against the Dollar.
“While the value of the Nigerian Naira relative to the US Dollar has declined by 9% in the last 6 months, the South African Rand and Ghanaian Cedi have appreciated by 11.4% and 1%, respectively,” he said.
