The Nigerian Naira, on Monday, July 10, flagged off the new week on a positive note at the parallel segment of the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market.

Against the British Pound Sterling, the Naira remained unchanged exchanging at the rate of N470 and traded at the rate of N420 against the European Single Currency, Euro.
