The implementation signalled the consummation of the Bilateral Currency Swap Agreement signed with the People’s Bank of China early this year
Head, Banking and Finance Department, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Prof Uche Uwaleke said the transaction, valued at Remnibi 16 billion ($2.5bn), will provide adequate local currency liquidity to Nigerian and Chinese industrialists.

Uwaleke added that the agreement would improve the speed, convenience and volume of transactions between the two countries
