The domestic currency appreciated by 0.66 per cent to close at N1082.32 to a dollar at the close of business compared to

N1,089.51 per dollar it quoted on Tuesday.

Similarly, the Naira gained slightly at the parallel market by trading at N1240 per dollar, representing a 0.40 per cent appreciation compared to the figure it sold the previous day.
