EKO HOT BLOG reports that at the black market, also known as the parallel market, the naira traded at ₦1410 per dollar for selling and ₦1395 for buying. The rates reflect continued demand for foreign currency amid limited supply, despite ongoing efforts to stabilise the market.
In the official market, figures from the Central Bank of Nigeria show a relatively stable range compared to the parallel market. The official window continues to maintain lower rates due to regulatory controls and managed liquidity.

The gap between the black market and official exchange rates highlights ongoing structural challenges in Nigeria’s foreign exchange system. Analysts attribute the disparity to factors such as high import demand, reduced dollar inflows, and global economic uncertainties.
Market observers say while short-term stability may continue, sustained improvements will depend on increased foreign exchange supply and broader economic reforms.

The Central Bank is expected to maintain interventions aimed at narrowing the gap and improving liquidity in the coming weeks.
