Kingsley Moghalu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, dismissed the idea of aiming for a Naira to Dollar exchange rate of 400, labeling it as unrealistic.

Expressing his views on his X account, Moghalu asserted the importance of exchange rates aligning with market realities. He condemned the tactics employed during Godwin Emefiele‘s leadership at the Central Bank, which he perceived as artificially controlling exchange rates to serve political agendas. According to Moghalu, this approach fostered economic instability and encouraged speculative behavior.

Moghalu advocated for a shift towards a value-added manufacturing export economy as a sustainable solution to strengthen the nation’s forex earnings beyond reliance on oil.

He wrote: 

“Those who want the Naira to be N400 to the $ are living in a dream world. Even discounting for the negative impact of speculative attacks on the value of the Naira, the exchange rate will (and should) reflect its market value in reality, not the artificiality that the Emefiele era central bank sought to maintain to please economic illiterates in political power at the time. 

“That artificiality created room for massive arbitrage by speculators which bled the economy. Nigeria does not (yet) have a productive export economy. That’s the heart of the matter. 

“And we do not have $100 billion in foreign reserves. So on what basis would the Naira forex rate return to some fantasy land soon? It will also take time to regain or achieve full investor confidence such as we had when we were there (and the rate was N150-165 to the $. 

“The sooner we focus on a painstaking creation of value-added manufacturing export economy that earns forex beyond oil in real and significant terms, the better. Key to this is the electricity conundrum in which we are at less than 4,000 megawatts of generation for a population of 200 million for decades now. 

“Take power to even 20K megawatts (let’s not talk of 50K for South Africa’s 60 million population or Brazil’s 181K megawatts for a population only slightly larger than Nigeria) and you will see what the Nigerian entrepreneurial spirit is capable of.”
