The Naira maintained its momentum against the dollar from last week on the parallel market, trading at N324 to the dollar for buyers. The speculative trend of the currency seems to have died out as it maintains a steady position against the dollar, although it has been dropping steadily - and continues to drop - against the British Pound and Euro.
