But now both the official naira rate of 306 per dollar and the weaker market exchange rate of around 360 that almost all investors use put the Nigerian economy on top.

Nigeria’s economic growth beat forecasts in the fourth quarter, helping its economy to expand the most in four years in 2019 as oil output increased and the central bank took steps to boost credit growth.

GDP in the West African country stood at 6 billion or 2 billion, depending on the rate used.
