Obi Sees Something Good in Tinubu’s “Naira Float Policy ‘
The policy was introduced by the Tinubu administration in June 2023 as part of wider foreign exchange reforms.
The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 election, Peter Obi, has said he would retain President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s naira float policy if elected president.
The policy was introduced by the Tinubu administration in June 2023 as part of wider foreign exchange reforms.
The Central Bank of Nigeria removed restrictions at the Investors and Exporters foreign exchange window, allowing the naira to trade more freely against the dollar and other major currencies
Obi made the disclosure in a public statement on air, emphasising that his administration would seek to strengthen the currency by prioritising productivity and increasing economic output rather than reversing the floating exchange-rate framework.
Asked to identify one policy of the Tinubu administration he would keep if elected, Obi said, “There’s one – the floating of the Naira. I’m not going to defend it. But I’m going to put productivity to make it more valuable to the people.”
His position means he would maintain the floating exchange-rate system while seeking to change the economic conditions that determine the strength and value of the naira.

Brent crude slid to around $106 per barrel
Top US officials reportedly warned President Donald Trump that the war could continue through the remainder of his term, which ends in January 2029.
Brent crude slid to around $106 per barrel on Friday in a likely technical correction, but was still set to end the week sharply higher as the escalating conflict between the US and Iran fueled concerns over prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies.
Top US officials reportedly warned President Donald Trump that the war could continue through the remainder of his term, which ends in January 2029.
Meanwhile, Iranian leaders are reportedly determined to continue fighting despite mounting economic costs, viewing the conflict as an existential threat.
They also claim that Tehran has managed to rebuild its missile capabilities and could intensify attacks on US and Gulf assets if Washington escalates its own strikes.
Fighting has intensified over the past two weeks, with the US targeting Iranian oil tankers while Iran launched missiles at US warships and tankers in the Persian Gulf, as well as American assets in neighboring countries.
