The naira also closed at N445, N559 and N484 to the dollar, Pound Sterling and the Euro at the parallel market.
Traders at the market linked acute forex shortage of the greenback to the poor performance of the naira at the market.

Gwadabe said biometric registration of BDCs and subsequent funding was ongoing.
