In the dynamic landscape of Nigeria’s foreign exchange rates, the black market (parallel market) has witnessed a surge in the exchange rate of the US Dollar to Naira. As of Saturday, 6th January 2024, currency players at the Lagos Parallel Market are buying a dollar for N1240 and selling at N1250, according to sources at Bureau De Change (BDC).
It’s crucial to note that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) continues to distance itself from the parallel market, emphasizing that it does not officially recognize or endorse its rates. The CBN directs individuals involved in forex transactions to approach their respective banks, highlighting the importance of official channels in currency exchanges.
In stark contrast, the official CBN rates for the same period reveal a more stable picture. The CBN’s buying rate for the US Dollar stands at 913 Naira, with a selling rate of 914 Naira. The disparity between the parallel market and the CBN rates underscores the challenges of maintaining uniformity in the foreign exchange market.

The volatile nature of the parallel market underscores the importance of seeking guidance from official channels to ensure financial stability and compliance with regulatory guidelines.
