The naira ended the second week in a significant depreciation against the dollar in official and parallel foreign exchange markets.
On Friday, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s data showed that the Naira further slipped to N1,393.26 per dollar, down from N1,387.45.
This means that on a day-to-day and week-on-week basis, the Naira dropped by N5.81 and N29.87, respectively, against the dollar. Meanwhile, in the last two weeks, the naira has slumped by N46.94 to the dollar at the official market.
Similarly, at the black market, the Naira dipped by N45 to N1,415 on Friday, down from around N1,370 per dollar on February 23, 2026, according to multiple Bureau de Change operators in Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.
The local currency decline across foreign markets comes after the apex bank mopped up dollars from the market by way of intervention, a move that was confirmed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a recent remark.
