Currency traders said that the weekly offering of foreign exchange to BDCs by the CBN was paying off and restoring stability to the exchange rate.

Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, the President of Association of Bureau de Change Operators of Nigeria, said that he expected the naira to continue to appreciate in the coming weeks.

Gwadabe said that BDCs had taken measures to ensure that they would not run foul of the law in the foreign exchange market.
