The Nigerian naira has continued its depreciation streak against the US dollar, falling to N1,402 at the official market.

This represents a 0.86% decrease from the previous close at N1,390 of trading activity on Tuesday.

The depreciation is attributed to renewed demand for the greenback at both the official and parallel markets.
