Earlier in the week, the naira exchanged at N1,457.51 on Monday, N1,463.23 on Tuesday, and N1,473.29 on Wednesday, reflecting the currency’s unstable performance across the trading sessions.
Analysts attributed the week’s fluctuations to increased demand pressures in the foreign exchange market and limited liquidity inflows, which continue to influence short-term currency stability.
