Nigeria’s currency, the Naira, has further declined due to the increasing scarcity of the US Dollar.
Naija News learnt that the naira started trading at 1,175/$ at the parallel market and closed at 1,190/$ last Friday. This is a decrease from two weeks ago when the naira traded at 1,100/$ at the parallel market.
However, there was a slight appreciation in the naira’s value on the Investor & Exporter forex window. It sold at 808.28/$ at the close of trading on Friday, compared to 810.05/$ on Thursday, as reported by the FMDQ. Some Bureau de Change Operators mentioned to journalists that the scarcity of the dollar has made it difficult for them to provide forex to customers.
“On Friday, the price was 1,175/$, but we don’t even have it. It is not available right now,” A BDC operator, Jubril Mutiu, told The PUNCH in a recent interview.
Another BDC operator, Adamu Afeez, told newsmen that they are currently seeking individuals interested in selling to them. He acknowledged, however, that they currently lack the necessary funds to make purchases saying, “Without the required currency, we are unable to engage in any selling transactions.”

</blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>French bee (yes, with a lowercase "b") is a French low-cost, long-haul airline that specializes in budget-friendly flights to dreamy destinations. Founded in 2016, the airline was originally called French Blue before <a href="https://community.infiniteflight.com/t/why-frenchblue-was-renamed/390337">rebranding to French bee</a>.</p><p>Its home base is Paris-Orly Airport, which is closer to the city centre than Charles de Gaulle, so you can get to that baguette and cafe au lait even faster.</p><p>The airline operates a <a href="https://ca.frenchbee.com/en/our-A350-fleet#jsfilm">fleet of Airbus A350s</a>, which are modern, fuel-efficient planes designed to offer a smoother ride with better cabin pressure, quieter engines, and more space. Basically, it's a budget airline that promises the experience doesn't feel like punishment.<br/></p><p>French bee's whole thing is about making long-haul travel more affordable without completely sacrificing comfort. While it follows a pay-for-what-you-need model like other low-cost airlines, it still offers perks like free entertainment, Wi-Fi options, and leather seats.</p><h3>How much are flights?</h3><br><p>As of February 19, here's a snapshot of French bee's pricing for the Montreal to Paris route:</p><ul><li>May 2025: One-way fares start at $337, ideal for travellers planning multi-country European adventures.</li><li>June 2025: Prices increase to around $482 one-way, reflecting peak summer demand.</li><li>October 2025 to January 2026: Fares drop back to around $350 one-way as the peak travel season ends.</li></ul><p>Round-trip tickets during the spring and summer months are available for as low as $475, with multiple dates offering these fares.</p><p>French bee's website has a user-friendly tool highlighting the most affordable fares on various dates, making it easier for flexible travellers to secure the cheapest fares.</p><p>Keep in mind that these figures represent base fares, typical of low-cost carriers. This means the initial price covers the seat and a personal item, with additional services available à la carte.</p><h3>Services and fares</h3><br/><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqa0QEfqX-7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
