A bureau de change operator, Mr Harrison Owoh said that the depreciation in all segments was due to a shortfall between demand and the foreign exchange available for sale.

Nigeria will bounce back.

Nigeria will bounce back.

No need for Long story. We must continue with the GEJ template to salvage the naira.

Fix oil and gas downstream, agriculture and automobile sector.

These three are the biggest demand drivers for foreign currencies. Demand for dollars will drop by over 85% if we continue to focus on these three sectors.

This aint time for propaganda. .... its time to work.

booookeddddd
