BREAKING: CBN Speaks On Devaluation Of Naira To N631/$1

The Nigerian economy will recover by 2% in 2021, the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele governor said on Friday.

Naija News recalls that Nigeria plunged into an economic crisis in November as a result of the COVID-19 impact on the economy and falling oil prices.

But Godwin Emefiele said he expects the problem to be temporary.

In addition, he said, he expects inflation to ease in the first six months of 2021.

He also defended the foreign exchange policy, saying it was “in line with the rest of the world” because the naira was allowed to appreciate itself in the market.

He added that there was no need to worry about Nigeria’s foreign reserves.
