Nigerians who decided to buy dollars with the hope of making big gains have been left have been left high and dry as naira suddenly wakened from slumber.

On Thursday, at the black market, Naira exchanged at N640 per dollar, a N70 gain in three days.
The sustenance of the recovery remains to be seen, given that the demand for foreign exchange for goods and services has remained constant.
