Follow @NigeriaPI The increasing pressure on the naira is caused by high demand for the dollar by importers and speculators, foreign exchange dealers said. The local currency had weakened to 345 at the parallel market on Monday, having hit 338 last Friday as importers scrambled for the dollar to meet overseas obligations The central bank has left its official rate unchanged at N197 to the dollar on its interbank window. “Most individuals who sell (dollars) to us are no longer willing, but demand is piling up,” the acting President, Association of Bureau De Change Operators, Aminu Gwadabe, told Reuters on Tuesday. Last month, the Central Bank of Nigeria banned dollar sales to BDC operators, sending the naira to record lows at the black market, and later stopped daily sales to the interbank market, in an effort to conserve the external reserves, now at their lowest in more than 11 years. The nation earns around 90 per cent of its foreign exchange earnings from crude oil exports. The foreign exchange reserves fell to $27.83bn as of February 12, data from the CBN website showed. Some retail currency operators have few dollars in their vaults and depend on other members to fill orders when they have excess demand, fuelling the weakness in the currency, Reuters reported quoting forex traders. The naira has depreciated by over 13 per cent in less than two weeks. The currency hit a then record low of 338 against the greenback on Friday, a day after the Bankers’ Committee announced that it might stop providing foreign exchange for school fees and medical bills payment. The naira, which...

Follow @NigeriaPI A middle-aged man, Prince Agina, on Wednesday told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State that his wife, Obianuju, has been poisoning his meals since 2008. The union which was consummated on Dec. 24, 2006 in Anambra had been blessed with three children. Obianuju was also accused of frequent fighting and infidelity by her husband. “Since 2008, I have noticed that my food was being laced with poison, which has resulted to my deteriorating health; as I am standing here, I’m sick. “Usually, I travel a lot. On one occasion when I returned home; I noticed that the centre table in our home had broken; when I asked my daughter how it happened, she told me that one uncle broke it.” This means my wife brings other men into our matrimonial home whenever I travelled because my daughter knows all her uncles. “She goes out at will without my permission, she does not listen to me as her husband and I don’t love her anymore,’’ Agina said. However, the respondent denied all the allegations leveled against her by her estranged husband. “My husband has diabetes and hypertension; and he keeps eating those foods that the doctor warned him to desist from. “Please tell me why he won’t be sick always. “I stayed with him at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for four months looking after him but he did not listen to the doctor’s advice. “So, how has his disobedience become my fault. “He married me a virgin; so why will I start sleeping around now, why will I bring men into the house where...
