The parallel market rate continues to stand above the official Central Bank of Nigeria window, where the naira closed in the region of ₦1,365 to ₦1,366 per dollar in the preceding session.
The spread between the two markets remains relatively narrow compared with more turbulent periods earlier in the year, reflecting improved liquidity and sustained efforts by authorities to stabilize the foreign exchange environment.
Market participants link the current levels to a combination of steady remittance inflows, oil-related earnings that have helped support reserves, and ongoing demand from importers, travelers and individuals meeting overseas obligations.
Quotes can still vary modestly by location, transaction size and time of day, with some urban dealers offering slightly higher figures. Those planning to exchange currency are encouraged to confirm the latest rates with reputable operators before completing any transaction, as conditions in the informal market remain fluid.
