The black market rate remains significantly higher, underscoring the heavy reliance many have on alternative channels when official sources are constrained.

Analysts expect continued volatility in the coming days, especially as import demands, dollar scarcity, and forex interventions by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) play out.
