The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Thursday offered $100 million as wholesale interventions and sold about 70 million to meet requests for business and personal travel allowances.

The CBN said the move was in a bid to sustain the tempo of foreign exchange supply to the interbank market and ensure liquidity.

According to the apex bank, it is also to enable more people overcome the difficulty of obtaining forex for their transactions

The President, Association of Bureau de Change Operators in Nigeria, Aminu Gwadabe, said the central bank had approved 3,114 of its members to bid for 25 million dollars which was sold on Thursday.
