NAN reports that Naira has been in the eye of the storm lately as efforts at defending it against the dollar appeared unsustainable.

Available data showed that the CBN had since April 2017, injected 26.77 billion dollars to the foreign exchange market to shore up the value of the Naira.

Though there was relative stability in the prices of goods and services, experts argued that throwing dollars in the defence of the Naira was unsustainable
