The Naira continued its downward trend in the parallel market, depreciating further to N1,650 per dollar on Tuesday, a slight drop from Monday’s rate of N1,648 per dollar.

In contrast, the official foreign exchange market provided a rare moment of relief, as the Naira appreciated marginally to N1,537 per dollar, gaining N1 from the previous day’s rate of N1,538 per dollar.
