Data from the CBN also showed the Naira exchanged at 0.739 Kobo  to the CFA.

VMT NEWS reports that while the CBN is working hard to reduce inflation, experts believe a lot needs to be done in the management of the exchange rate.

The CBN had a few months ago stopped the sale of FOREX to the Bureau De Change sector of the market, citing regulatory infractions by some of the members of the currency traders.

However, the impact of the ban is far from strengthening the naira against the dollar.
