The official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate published by the Central Bank of Nigeria stood near ₦1,348 to ₦1,349 per dollar. This leaves the street premium at roughly ₦40 to ₦70, or about 3 to 5 percent, a gap that remains comparatively contained by recent historical standards.
Demand from importers, students and travellers stayed orderly rather than intense. External reserves reported above $55 billion and steady oil receipts continue to support official liquidity, which has kept pressure on the parallel market in check.
Quotes still differed by location, transaction volume and the time of day, and operators noted that the informal rate can shift before the close of business. Cash transactions outside the banking system remain the practical benchmark for many users who cannot obtain dollars at the CBN rate.
Anyone planning an exchange should confirm the live quote with a trusted bureau or dealer, since parallel-market prices are not uniform and can move on local supply and remittance inflows.
