Naira slumps on parallel market to N307 - USD1

The Naira has fallen by 0.7% on the parallel market with some reports attributing the drop to last minute payments of tuition fees abroad.

The Naira lost N2 to exchange at N307 to the dollar, falling value from N305 on Tuesday.

It had relatively remained stable in the past weeks after a slump in value caused mainly by the global slump on oil prices.

The Naira remains fixed by the Central Bank of Nigeria to N197 to the dollar, a policy unlikely to change in the near future.
