The man said that, as a businessman, Nigerians should not expect him to crash the prices of imported goods in his shop.
He said the effect of the falling dollar exchange rate will not be felt until at least three months time. He noted that Nigerians will start reaping the benefits of the new dollar exchange rate in March 2025.
According to him, the last goods he bought were paid for when the dollar sold at N1770 to the naira. Hence, he would not sell it at a loss.
He said he ordered 10 containers of goods when the dollar exchange rate was high, so he would need to finish selling them before reducing the price in line with the new exchange rate. The video was posted by Instablog9ja.
