Naira decreased in value even further in the parallel market. This is due to ongoing scarcity of foreign exchange and an increase in the demand for it. The decreasing value of NGN in the parallel market is an indication of a difficult economic condition in the country.

In Uyo, local currency traders at the Udi street market reported that on Tuesday, the Nigerian currency (NGN) was being bought and sold at different rates. They said that the currency was being bought at N744.00 per United States dollar, and then sold at N750.00 per dollar. This is a slight increase from the exchange rate of N743.00 per dollar that was reported on Monday.

In the Abuja zone 4 market, currency dealers stated that on Tuesday, the  dollar was being bought at N743.00 and sold for a higher rate at N745.00 or above. This indicates that there is a demand for the dollar in this market and it is causing its value to increase in comparison to the Nigerian currency. This is a similar trend to the one reported in Uyo market.
