Data from the Central Bank of Nigeria showed the official market rate remained slightly lower than the black market, maintaining a gap that continues to influence arbitrage activities and currency speculation.

Economic analysts say the persistent difference between both markets is driven by limited forex supply, rising import demand, and broader macroeconomic challenges. The pressure on the naira has also been linked to inflation concerns and external debt obligations.

Market watchers expect the naira to remain volatile in the short term, with stability largely dependent on increased dollar inflows, policy adjustments, and improved investor confidence in the Nigerian economy.
