Dollar Dominates As Naira Struggles: Black Market Rates Surge On August 23
The exchange rate between the United States dollar (USD) and the Nigerian naira (NGN) at the parallel market, commonly referred to as the black market, continued to reflect volatility on Friday, August 22, 2025.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Market information obtained from currency traders indicates that dollars were purchased at ₦1,555 and sold at ₦1,550 in parts of Lagos, according to sources within the Bureau De Change (BDC) network.
Financial analysts note that these rates remain outside the official Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) window, as the apex bank does not recognize transactions conducted in the parallel market. The CBN has repeatedly urged individuals and businesses seeking foreign exchange to process their transactions through authorized financial institutions.
At the official market, data show the naira trading between ₦1,534 and ₦1,536 per dollar on the same day.
Observers caution that rates vary depending on location, time of transaction, and negotiation margins, meaning the actual figures in circulation may differ from published market averages.
