However, the President, Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, has blamed the recent depreciation of Naira on the speculators’ onslaught and resistance by the banking industry.

Gwadabe told newsmen on Saturday, April 1, in Lagos that the refusal of some banks to sell the invisibles such as personal and business travel allowances frustrated Naira recovery.

The ABCON chief said that the CBN had recently accused the banks of frustrating its

policies.

He said it was ironical that the Naira started losing strength in spite of the CBN’s review of the rates from N375 to N360 to a dollar.
