By Dipo Olowookere As at Thursday, December 14, 2017, a total of $36.9 billion was left in the foreign reserves of Nigeria, data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reveals. According to the apex bank, this amount grew by 0.4 percent from the previous day, Wednesday, December 13, 2017, when the reserves had $36.7 billion. Nigeria’s foreign reserves have recorded a growth of 5.1 percent in from December 1 to December 14, 2017. On December 1, 2017, the amount in the reserves was $35.1 billion. Already, the external reserves of Africa’s largest economy have recorded 41.2 percent increase this year. According to data obtained by Business Post on the website of the CBN, where details of the reserve management and movement are published, the country opened the year with $26.1 billion in the reserves. The government had a target to increase the amount in its external reserves to $40 billion before the end of the year, but may not be met going by the rate the reserves have grown this year. https://www.businesspost.ng/2017/12/17/nigerias-foreign-reserves-grow-36-9b/ 1 Like |

Gradually, we are getting there. To think this is the same reserve that nosedived during the oil boom is very amusing. Chinko Japanese can make Atichukwu their only savior in their barren lands, but not Nigeria. **Spits on flat objects**

This is one of the reason we must Buhari for 2019. The reserve is rising because of Buhari conservatism and focus on local alternative to imports. If we bring in liberal PDP in the name of Atiku, the reserve will deplete very fast. 63 Likes 9 Shares |

In every nation where moral values has gone into extinction, people of INTEGRITY like BUHARI are hated. How can the same people who hail Yahoo boys Kidnappers Baby factory dealers Corrupt politicians Slay queens As the biggest boys in town love who stand for and celebrate MORAL SANITY? Buhari was sent by God to save Nigeria from the impending disaster that awaited us......how can one who couldn't manage Nigeria with huge resources manage her in recession with appreciable increase of foreign reserve?

python1: @bolded. Gradually, you are getting to where? This is an insane government. Totally confused government. Look, obasanjo saved over thirty billion dollars, where is the money today? Yet nothing is functioning in the country. The useless old man president should know that the economy is dead, hunger is killing people. The confused overaged president should rather build the highly needed infrastructure, the countries that have their infrastructure working well was built by their leaders. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

givan:Yes, the answer is $35.9b, but the question now is; why did this same reserve drop from $47b to close to $30b when the income was high as compared to same reserve on the increase now at averagely half of the previous income? What exactly was done with it? It should had increased to close to $100b considering the nation's income then, but even if it did not increase, why not maintain it at that value? Why dropping it again? 39 Likes 3 Shares |

What's the correlation between foreign reserves and development, if any? You claim to have a stash of funds in reserves, yet you are embarking on mindless borrowing to fund infrastructure in tandem with unneeded FOREX subsidies; who's fooling who here? 12 Likes 1 Share |

juman:is your brain functioning? Your ineffectual buffoon depleted the reserve without a single infrastructure. Buhari is building infrastructure and adding to the reserve, That is a great feat. 21 Likes 4 Shares |
