At the parallel market, the naira maintained its rate against the British pound, but exchanged at 410 to the euro as against 400 at the start of trading.
At the international market, the naira rose to 385.09 as against 391.04 to a pound and 330.59 as against 338.07 to the euro.

It earlier directed banks to sell forex at 375 but amended the policy on Monday, and asked banks to sell at 360.
