Naira Faces Fresh Pressure: CBN Intervenes Again
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has responded by injecting $500 million into the foreign exchange market in a bid to ease pressure on the naira, which has depreciated to over ₦1,300/$ on the parallel market.
CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso assured citizens that strategic steps are underway to stabilize the currency and attract foreign investors.
Economists have praised the move but also warn that further fiscal discipline is needed to prevent a full-blown currency crisis.
Fuel Subsidy Gone, New Palliatives Incoming
Since the controversial removal of the fuel subsidy, the cost of living has surged nationwide. In response, Tinubu announced a ₦75 billion intervention fund to support small businesses and local manufacturers.
Additionally, ₦25,000 monthly will be disbursed to 10 million vulnerable Nigerians over the next three months.
Markets reacted positively to the news, with the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) gaining 1.8% in early trading today.
What Nigerians Are Saying
The reforms have sparked mixed reactions on social media and in the streets.
“At least he’s doing something different. We suffered under silence before,” said Yusuf Olaniyi, a trader in Lagos.
“But I want to see the effect, not just the speech,” added Blessing Ukpong, a student in Uyo.
#TinubuReforms, #NairaCrisis, and #NaijaNews are trending hashtags. They have dominated X (formerly Twitter). Thousands of posts are reacting to the President’s speech.
