This data contrasts with the rates recorded on Saturday, 7th January 2024, where players in the Lagos Parallel Market were buying a dollar for N1,235 and selling at N1,240.

As reported by reliable sources at Bureau De Change (BDC), the current rates may not universally apply, as buying and selling prices can vary. It’s advisable for individuals engaging in forex activities to check with their chosen platforms for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
For those interested in the historical context, the previous day’s rates provide additional insight. However, it’s essential to approach currency exchange with caution, considering the potential for market fluctuations and the CBN’s directive to use official banking channels for forex transactions.
