Although the article originally listed rates for September 7 incorrectly referenced as September 8, no updated data exists beyond this date.

*Reflects the mid-market value; actual CBN rates (buy/sell) are often similar but may vary slightly.


Key Notes

  • The black market rates continue to reflect supply shortages and market demand, remaining several naira higher than official benchmarks.

  • The CBN discourages parallel market use and insists Nigerians transact through licensed channels to ensure transparency and protect the naira.

Let me know if you’d like a brief commentary on the trend or economic implications of these rates.
