 Naira Hits All-Time Low, Crosses N1,500 To Dollar At Official Market


There is no end in sight to the lingering foreign exchange crisis as dollar crossed over N1,500 at the official market.


The dollar closed at 1,534.39 at the official market on Monday, according to the FMDQ data.

Despite the dollar exchanging at N1,534 at the official market, it has stabilized at the unofficial parallel market exchanging between N1,450 and N1500.
