Nigeria flag Nigeria

The Nigerian Naira (NGN) is the official currency of Nigeria, managed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). It was introduced in 1973, replacing the Nigerian pound as part of Nigeria’s shift to a decimal monetary system. The Naira is crucial to Africa’s largest economy, which is driven by oil exports, agriculture, technology, and services. Despite inflation and currency fluctuations, the Naira remains one of Africa’s most widely traded currencies.
