This showed that the Naira in the week under review recorded more depreciation than appreciation. Except on Friday, the Naira fell against the dollar throughout this week at the FX market.

Similarly, the Naira dropped by N10 at the black market on a week-on-week basis when compared to N1,580 it closed at last week Friday.
