Meanwhile, the Presidency has said that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) was not pushing for naira devaluation.
Recall that Osinbajo on Monday called on the CBN to review its strategy on foreign exchange and ensure that the Naira value reflects the market reality, rather than what he described as “artificially low”.
In Tuesday’s clarification, titled, ‘Why Osinbajo Advocates Forex Policy That Curbs Arbitrage and Corruption, Offering Nigerians Cheaper Dollars’, Akande said his principal was not calling for the devaluation of naira.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to statements and reports in the media mis-characterising as a call for devaluation, the view of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN that the Naira exchange rate was being kept artificially low.
“Prof. Osinbajo is not calling for the devaluation of the Naira. He has at all times argued against a willy-nilly devaluation of the Naira.
“For context, the Vice President’s point was that currently the Naira exchange rate benefits only those who are able to obtain the dollar at N410, some of who simply turn round and sell to the parallel market at N570.
It is stopping this huge arbitrage of over N160 per dollar that the Vice President was talking about. Such a massive difference discourages doing proper business, when selling the dollar can bring in 40% profit!“
Onyxnewsng reports that this was made known by his media aide, Laolu Akande, in a State House press statement on Tuesday.
