That is a slightly weaker naira on the street than Thursday’s closer band, after early Friday quotes moved up from the ₦1,362–₦1,375 selling range seen at midweek. Demand from importers, travelers and students remained orderly as the week wound down, and external reserves were last reported near $54.9 billion, with oil receipts still supporting official liquidity.
Quotes still differed a little by location, volume and the hour of the day, and operators warned that the informal rate can shift before the close of business. The gap between the official window and the parallel market has widened a touch from the tightest readings earlier in the week.
Yet, it remains comparatively narrow by recent historical standards, and cash transactions outside the banking system remain the practical benchmark for many users who cannot obtain dollars at the CBN rate.
Anyone planning to change money was advised to confirm the live figure with a trusted bureau or dealer, because parallel-market prices are not fixed and can move on local supply and remittance inflows.
