EKO HOT BLOG reports that on Tuesday, February 4th, 2026, the naira continued to trade at a wide margin between the official Central Bank of Nigeria rate and the parallel market, reflecting ongoing pressure on foreign exchange supply.
In the black market, also known as the parallel market, the naira exchanged at a higher rate against the dollar compared to the official window. Currency dealers attributed the persistent gap to sustained demand for dollars by importers, limited inflows, and cautious participation by foreign investors amid global economic uncertainties.
Below is a breakdown of the dollar to naira exchange rates for today.
