Official Market Rate
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) official rate stands at ₦1,330.10 per dollar. That figure comes from Friday’s close, because the official market does not trade on weekends. As a result, a fresh official rate will arrive later on Monday.
Black Market Rate
Dealers buy the dollar at about ₦1,365 and sell it at about ₦1,390. Consequently, the gap between the official rate and the street rate stays between ₦35 and ₦60 per dollar. Street prices differ by city and by dealer, so shop around.
The pound and the euro also trade at a premium. The pound sells for about ₦1,880 on the street, while the euro sells for about ₦1,590. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar sells for about ₦1,000.
