The Naira on Friday depreciated further at the parallel market as dollar scarcity worsened, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
NAN reports that the Naira may be seeing its worst times as the CBN will be resuming dollar sales to Bureau De Change operators next week.
The Nigerian currency exchanged at N497 to a dollar at the parallel market, losing two points from Thursdays posting, while the Pound Sterling and the Euro traded at N597 and N515 respectively.
At the BDC window, the Naira was sold at N399 to a dollar, while the Pound Sterling and the Euro closed at N600 and N515 respectively.
Trading at the interbank market window saw the Naira closed at N305 to a dollar.
Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, the President, Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria, expressed the hope that the Naira would bounce back next week.
Gwadabe said that the CBN would be selling about $25 million to BDCs next week and this would definitely help in reducing liquidity challenge in the Market.
He urged Nigerians not to panic as the CBN was working closely with the BDCs to ensure that the Naira recovers quickly.
