LAGOS, Sept 30 (Reuters) -
Nigeria's foreign exchange
reserves fell to $24.59
billion by Sept. 28, down 3.37
percent from the previous
month, latest central bank
data showed on Friday, as
the bank stepped up its
intervention to prop up the
ailing naira currency.
The reserves of Africa's
largest economy stood at $
25.45 billion last month. The
reserves had declined 19
percent from a year ago.
The central bank has been
selling the dollar to support
the currency, but the naira
hit a fresh all-time low of
490 per dollar on the black
market on Friday.
