Most informed Nigerians are skeptical about the argument that devaluing the Naira is the way out of the nation’s prevailing economic challenges. For them,

it is more like the proverbial catch-22. For some yet, it appears easy. But the reality on ground is that nothing good comes easy and that includes building a viable economy based on a sturdy exchange rate mechanism. In a long time, the black-market exchange rate has served as a gauge to value the currency, as absurd as that may sound. But this is no longer tenable for the simple reason that the operators of that market work on the fringes of the economy.

Without doubt, a number of social issues will certainly arise therefrom. For instance, fixed income earners will see their wages go the Zimbabwean way.

It is unarguable, in our opinion, that import value will rise astronomically without a corresponding rise in exports and may result in a current account balance going into deficit and thus make the country’s balance sheet much worse.
