CBN's policies propelling the naira Analysts believe that a series of forex policies by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has led to a 21% recovery of the Nigerian currency since March, when the naira hit its lowest.

We can't be talking about gain when it's still above N700 where buhari left it na.
Buhari destroyed the economy and the naira and left it at N700....Tinubu unfortunately took it to N1900.

In layman's term, if the value of a good (dollar in this case) is N300 but someone is selling it to you(for no reason) at N1900 and after some protests reduced it to N1300 (still for no reason).Is that a gain?
You'll only talk of a gain when it's less than the value which was N300.
