BusinessNG Editorial Focus (May 28, 2025): The naira weakened to N1,590 per dollar at the official market, reflecting sustained volatility in Nigeria’s foreign exchange landscape. This comes amid declining external reserves and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) intensified reforms aimed at curbing forex malpractices and improving transparency in the market.
