Financial expert Kalu Aja has urged the Central Bank of Nigeria to sell the Naira at a rate of N1000 to the US dollar.

Aja revealed this in a statement posted on his official X Twitter on Sunday.

Recall that the top bank was urged by the Association of Bureaux de Change Operators to examine the dollar allocation rate below.

The call was made in the midst of the Naira’s ongoing rise against the dollar on parallel and foreign exchange markets, which left the exchange rate at N1,251 per dollar on Friday.
