“Initial US Dollar rate was noted as N463 at the beginning of this week on Monday, October 26, 2020. This equals to no movement for US Dollar to Naira exchange rate for this week so far.
“When we look at the whole month, we see that Dollar to Naira exchange rate was N465 on Thursday, October 01, 2020 at the beginning of October.
“With USD being traded at N463 now, we see a 0.43% decrease for USD to Naira exchange rates for this October”.
In September, the Naira had appreciated at a stage to N440 against the dollar.
But the gain soon evaporated, as the rate depreciated to N465.
