A total of 66.02million dollars was traded at the official Investors and Exporters window on Friday.

It means Nigerians would be unable to use their naira debit cards to make any transactions more than $20 in a month.

This comes as a longstanding scarcity of foreign exchange continues to bite Africa’s largest economy and biggest oil exporter, Nigeria, despite the recent surge in global energy prices.
