The dollar to naira exchange rate remained under pressure on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, as demand for foreign exchange continued to outweigh supply across both official and parallel markets in Nigeria.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that at the black market, also known as the parallel market, the naira traded weaker against the United States dollar. Currency traders in major hubs such as Lagos and Abuja confirmed that the dollar continued to exchange at elevated levels, reflecting persistent demand from businesses and individuals seeking forex for travel, imports, and overseas payments.

The official Central Bank of Nigeria rate also showed a wide trading band, highlighting ongoing liquidity management efforts by the apex bank. Analysts say the gap between the official and black market rates remains a key concern for investors and policymakers, as it affects price stability and investor confidence.

Below is the exchange rate table for today’s dollar to naira performance.

Market Type	Buying Rate	Selling Rate
Black Market	₦1471	₦1475

CBN Rate	Lowest	Highest
Official Market	₦1438	₦1450

Financial experts note that the naira’s movement in both markets will largely depend on forex inflows, oil revenue performance, and ongoing reforms in the foreign exchange system. They also advise businesses and individuals to monitor rates closely and plan transactions carefully, especially during the holiday period when forex demand typically spikes.

As Nigeria approaches the new year, market watchers expect continued fluctuations, with short term stability hinging on improved dollar supply and effective policy coordination.
