However, the local currency strengthened against Pound Sterling as it now exchanges at N613 as against the N616 rate of yesterday.
It was gathered that the shortage of dollar has mounted more pressure on the Naira at the parallel market inspite of the weekly sale of forex to BDCs by Central Bank of Nigeria.
Traders at the market believe that the Naira may still not resist the temptation of falling further this week.
