The naira has continued its depreciation against the dollar on Monday.

The naira lost N79.88 against the dollar at the official foreign exchange market.

FMDQ data showed that the naira closed at N1,419.11 per US dollar on Monday, compared to N1,339.23 last Friday.

This represents a 5.6 per cent depreciation against the dollar compared to N1339.23 on Friday.

Meanwhile, the naira dropped to N1,280 per dollar at the parallel market section on Monday, compared to N1,300 during the weekend.
