Nigeria: Google Issues a Statement on Inaccurate Currency Converter Issue with the Naira

Following the curious 50% drop recorded in Nigeria’s exchange rate on Google’s currency converter yesterday, Google has issued a statement.

In a tweet, the IT giant twitted that they were aware of the situation and will remove the converter box until the issue is resolved. The rate normalized shortly after but not before sparking off some theories as to what could have exactly happened.”We’re aware of an issue causing inaccurate conversions for Nigerian Naira currency, so we will remove the conversion onebox from appearing in search results until we are able to diagnose the issue.”
