The Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON) commended the month-long appreciation of the naira in both official and parallel markets.

ABCON President Dr Aminu Gwadabe said several factors contributed to the gains.

Gwadabe listed them as Nigeria’s exit from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, increased oil revenue, higher foreign reserves, and diaspora remittances.
