Some Bureau de Change Operators attributed the further fall in the value of the naira to an increase in the demand for the greenback.

The British pound sterling was also bought and sold for N740 and N745.

The CBN had in July this year stopped foreign exchange sales to the licensed BDCs, leaving the operators to source for their forex on their own.
