ABUJA, June 19 (Reuters) - Nigeria's central bank has
collected 216 billion naira ($598 million) from banks with
excess cash holdings as part of measures to support the naira
currency, banking sources told Reuters on Friday.
The naira has come under intense pressure in recent months
after the coronavirus pandemic and a sharp fall in price of oil,
Nigeria's main export, and as foreign investors exited, leaving
the country with large financing gap.
