Yields on the papers were mixed at the last auction with yields on the 91-day paper falling, while returns on 182-day bills rose.

In the meantime, the Naira remained unchanged against the US dollar on Wednesday after the apex bank increased dollar supply at the bi-weekly foreign exchange auction.

The Naira closed at N157.65kobo against the dollar on the interbank market.

Dealers said they expect the Naira will continue to hover around N157.50-N157.85 for the rest of the week.
