He revealed this during his address at the Nigeria-Asia Connectivity Dialogue in Singapore. The increase in reserves to this level has made foreign exchange transactions more predictable for investors. As of October 8, 2026, Nigeria's gross external reserves have also hit an all-time high of $55.07 billion.
