Dollar To Naira Rate	Exchange Rate (₦)
Black Market Buying Rate	₦1,395
Black Market Selling Rate	₦1,410
CBN Official Rate (Approx.)	₦1,383

In the parallel market, also known as the black market, currency traders across major cities such as Lagos, Abuja, and Kano quoted the Dollar at about ₦1,395 for buying and ₦1,410 for selling on Thursday and early Friday trading sessions.

Foreign exchange analysts say the difference between the official and parallel market rates continues to reflect the strong demand for dollars in Nigeria’s import driven economy. The black market rate is usually higher because transactions there are not regulated by the Central Bank.

Recent data also shows that the Naira has experienced periods of both depreciation and stability in the past year as economic reforms and foreign exchange policies continue to shape the market.

Economic experts note that factors such as foreign reserves, government monetary policy, global oil prices, and investor confidence often influence how the Naira performs against the dollar.

For businesses and individuals who rely on foreign currency transactions, monitoring the daily Dollar to Naira exchange rate has become essential for financial planning, international trade, and remittance transfers.
