About Daniel Okafor

Daniel has been covering financial markets as a journalist since 2016, with a particular focus on the currencies most Africans actually use. He grew up in Lagos watching the naira depreciate through multiple crises, and the experience gave him a journalist's instinct for the human cost behind the exchange rate headlines. He's written for regional business publications in Nigeria and Ghana, and his work has been cited in reports by African development institutions. His analysis is sharp and event-driven: he tracks central bank decisions, political transitions, and commodity price shifts and traces their effects through to exchange rates. He holds a degree in Mass Communication from the University of Lagos and a postgraduate diploma in Financial Journalism.
