Answer Details
When the Naira is devalued, it means that the value of the Nigerian currency has decreased relative to other currencies. This means that if you were to exchange one Naira for another currency, you would get less of that currency than you would have gotten before the devaluation.

Therefore, the correct option is: "imports that can be bought with the naira have become costlier".
Question 15 Report
Which of the following is both direct and indirect credit enterprise?
Answer Details
A co-operative and thrift society is both a direct and indirect credit enterprise.

Answer Details
A sole enterprise is a business that is owned and operated by a single individual.

A retail business, on the other hand, can be started with relatively low capital investment and can be managed effectively by a single individual with appropriate business skills.
