Naira Gains 30%, Sells For N250/dollar by odiks(op): 5:27am On Feb 25, 2016
…As BDCs back Buhari’s no devaluation stance

THE naira gained about 30 per cent on Wednesday against the dollar at the parallel market to trade between N250 and N280 from N364 at which it sold on Tuesday ending two weeks of free fall when it peaked at N403 against the greenback at the parallel market last week Thursday.

The local currency had begun a gradual recovery on Friday, firmed sharply at the parallel market yesterday as retail traders, having anticipated a cut in its official rate and stocked up on dollars, bought the local currency back after the government said it would not devalue.

The naira rate closed at N197.50 on Wednesday at the official interbank market, where the CBN limits introduced late last year to defend a currency peg have restricted access to dollars.

That has funnelled demand for dollars on to the parallel market, a flow further fuelled by speculation of a possible weakening of the peg.

The Acting President of the Association of Bureau de Change of Nigeria (ABCON), Aminu Gwadabe, said the market was reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari’s ‘no devaluation’ stance.

He, however, expressed ABCON’s support for President Buhari not to allow further devaluation of the naira.
Gwadabe, who said the association was in partnership with the authorities to step up efforts to rid the market of illegal currency traders stated: “Like the President indicated recently, since the only significant thing we export is crude oil, devaluation will do more harm to the economy than good. So we also say no to further devaluation of the naira!” he stated.

He also affirmed ABCON’s backing to ensure its members comply with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s regulation as well as operate within the approved margin of 3.5 per cent with the hope that the demand and supply situation would improve to restore calm and stability in the market.

And I thought Igbo IPOD Thugs said Buhari and Kemi Adeosun are responsible for the unofficial slide in the Naira, when greedy black market speculators were actually responsible.

I keep saying it, until We (Most especially your types) remove tribalism from our national views, then we will be going around in circles. undecided

You and your fellow mumus that liked ur post are DUMB
Of course the fall in in Oil prices has a lot to do with the slide in the value of the Naira, it is the same story in other commodity exporting countries Canada, Russia, Venezuela etc. But in Nigeria, silly cabals making undue profit in the underground parallel market sector made it even worse.
That is why even this new exchange rate of 250 is still well below the official exchange rate of 199. And until Oil prices rise again, it will never reach pre oil crash exchange levels. Inugo?

Oh, and it is Free fall of Naira , not free fall of Dollar.

Now i believe in Buhari more than ever. Have any of you thought of this:

WHAT IF WE HAVE DEVALUED THE NAIRA?
Re: Naira Gains 30%, Sells For N250/dollar by Sunnycliff(m): 9:26am On Feb 25, 2016
I think Ifeanyi Ubahs words was a lifeline to the recovery of the naira. He voiced out and that sent cold shivers down the spines of the speculators and staked his assets and that made speculators to have a rethink. Ifeanyi Ubah saving Nigerians since the days of Abacha. #nwaigbo
