According to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria, the naira closed at N1,437.29 per dollar, down from N1,436.58 recorded at the end of trading on Friday.
This means the local currency weakened by N0.71 compared to last week’s closing rate.
Similarly, the Naira also declined by N15 to N1,465 per dollar on Monday down from N1;450 lon Friday.
The development comes despite the continued rise in Nigeria’s external reserves, which stood at $43.35 billion as of November 7th, up from $43.32 recorded the previous day, according to CBN data.
