Of course this is happening because crude oil is our only source of foreign exchange with our mainly oil dependent mono-economy. 27 Likes 3 Shares |

Ambassador John Campbell has not 'discovered another River Niger' by his analysis. He said the obvious. However, it comes down to the criminal failure of successive governments to diversify the economy. But it is too late to cry over the spilt milk. We just need to clean up the mess real fast and come up with a sustainable plan for the future. It can be done. Well, in any case, it has to be done because we ain't get no choice. 61 Likes 3 Shares |

helinues: We came into this crisis with the excess crude account (ECA) at $70m from $2bn just 2 years ago, forex reserves falling to $38bn in January this year from $45bn in June last year, and a tripling of foreign-currency denominated debt from $9.5bn in 2015 to circa $27bn today. These have left us more vulnerable than we should have been as we ran down our 'savings' (ECA & forex reserves) at the same time we were tripling our outgoings (debt repayments). Because Nigeria is dependent on oil exports for forex, any government, no matter how competent, will struggle. But Buhari's government increases the likelihood of financial distress due to its economic illiteracy. It should have taken the opportunity of the 2015/16 forex shortage to float the exchange rate and abolish the implicit subsidy in maintaining multiple exchange rates, and abolish fuel and electricity subsidies. These would have preserved cash and ensure the scarce money available to the government is used in beefing up infrastructure, healthcare and education. I understand the urge to borrow from abroad as it tends to carry lower interest but we shouldn't do this unless we have built up enough fiscal buffers in the form of savings and lower budget deficits. Any person who follows the history of oil prices will realise that it is a volatile commodity prone to sudden crashes. Government spending and borrowing should always be managed with this in mind until we wean ourselves from dependence on oil. 99 Likes 16 Shares |

ok All currencies are taking hits right now except for the greenback (Dollar) simply because it's the currency of last resort where people all over the world are packing their money for now. Considering the oil prices and Coronavirus pandemic, the Naira is not doing too bad for now. 11 Likes |
