President Tinubu explained the exchange rate target was to enable his federal government-led administration to ensure the smooth implementation of the 2025 budget.

According to The Channels Television, the exchange rate target marks a reduction of about N200 from the current rate of N1,700 to a dollar.

“The budget projects that inflation will decline from the current rate of 34.6% to 15% next year, while the exchange rate will improve from approximately N1,700 per dollar to N1,500. The base crude oil production assumption is set at 2.06 million barrels per day.”
