<p>The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Godwin Emefiele says it is unfair that experts are using the parallel market rate to back their argument that the naira is overvalued and therefore calling for devaluation.

Analysts have in recent times raised concerns about the gap between the official naira exchange rate and that of the parallel market.
