  "summary": "The Nigerian naira has experienced its first depreciation against the US dollar in September 2026, according to data released by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The official foreign exchange market saw the naira weaken to N1,321.22 per dollar on Friday, a drop of N5.55 from the previous day's rate of N1,315.67.
