Experts, Operators Differ On Naira Free Fall
Some Nigerians have be
moaned the sustained free fall of the Naira and its consequence on the proposed national economic rejuvenation.
They told newsmen in Lagos that the depreciation of the Naira was tied to the absence of a defined economic blue print and bureaucrats to manage the economy.
Dr Chijioke Mgbame, a lecturer in the Department of Accountancy, University of Benin, said that the fluctuation of the Naira made it difficult for businesses to make projections.
Mgbame said that the hallmark of any good business plan lay in a stable exchange rate, price stability and business forecast.
The don also said that the fall in a nation’s currency would definitely lead to price hike for import dependent economy.
He expressed disappointment at the orthodox approach being deployed to rescue the Naira from further nose diving.
Dr Evans Osabuohien, an economist in the Department of Economics and Development, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun, said that the recovery of the American economy was mounting pressures on the Naira.
Osabuohien said that the currencies of other African countries such as the Kenyan and Ugandan shillings were also not insulated from experiencing fluctuations in their values.
Mr Silvanus Ibe, an importer of electronics, said that the rise and fall of the Naira was having a serious toll on his business.
“Those of us in the import business are saddled with the responsibility of explaining to our customers the reason behind the rise in the price of our products, before they decide to buy.
