This means that the Naira dropped again by N2.66 per dollar on Monday, down from the figure recorded on Friday.
Meanwhile, at the black market, the Naira remained unchanged at N1400 per dollar, the same rate traded at the close of the last working day.
The development comes despite the resurgence of foreign reserves to $48.58 billion as of 15th May 2026.
