Even though the dollar to naira opened in the parallel market at ₦745 per $1 today, Eko Hot Blog reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does not recognize the parallel market, otherwise known as the black market. The apex bank has therefore directed anyone who requires forex to approach their bank, insisting that the I&E window is the only known exchange.
“The only exchange rate remains the I&E window, which is the market we expect everybody who wishes to procure or sell forex to get it,” Emefiele said in September 2021.
“I am sorry to say that I do not, and I do not intend to recognise any fx in the market.
“Go to your bank. Even if your limit is above what the bank is selling, put it forward, and we will look into it. “If you want to sell the dollar, go to your bank and sell it.”
Meanwhile, Eko Hot Blog reports that the USD started this week at ₦750 in Parallel Market also known as Black Market on Monday, 10th April 2023, in Lagos Nigeria.
