The loss followed a three-day appreciation recorded the previous week.

In spite of this, the naira has remained relatively stable against the dollar due to CBN’s reforms promoting transparency in the foreign exchange market.

Analysts continue to commend the CBN for the local currency’s steady progress since December 2024.
