Meanwhile, the parallel (black) market rate in Lagos and other major hubs was reported at approximately ₦1,458 (buying) and ₦1,470 (selling) per dollar.
| Market Type | Buying Rate (₦) | Selling Rate (₦) |
|---|---|---|
| Official Market | ~₦1,454.90 | ~₦1,454.90 |
| Black Market (Aboki) | ₦1,458 | ₦1,470 |
The relatively narrow spread between official and black‐market rates suggests some stabilization, but the higher parallel rate highlights that foreign‐exchange availability remains constrained outside formal channels. For importers, exporters and foreign remittances, budgeting around ₦1,455 per dollar is realistic via official rates, while informal transactions might cost up to ₦1,470. The premium in the parallel market signals residual demand pressure even as the official rate holds.
Looking ahead, the naira’s stability will depend heavily on foreign‐reserves flows, oil earnings and investor sentiment. Though the official rate has remained below ₦1,460, external factors such as global interest‐rate shifts and oil‐price volatility could apply fresh pressure. Stakeholders should monitor the gap between the official and informal rates as a vital barometer of underlying FX stress.
