The Naira closed stronger on Friday at the official market, exchanging at ?1,599.55 per Dollar, after a week of fluctuations.

According to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Naira appreciated by ?2.27 against the Dollar, marking a 0.14% gain from Thursday’s rate of ?1,601.82.

This modest recovery follows a period of instability after the Easter break, during which the currency experienced several days of inconsistent performance.

Analysts note that the Naira’s performance this week highlights ongoing pressures and gradual adjustments in the foreign exchange market.
