Newsonline Nigeria has obtained the official Naira black market exchange rate in Nigeria today including the Black Market rates, Bureau De Change (BDC), and CBN rates. Please note that the exchange rate is subject to hourly fluctuations influenced by the supply and demand of dollars in the market. As of now, you can purchase 1 dollar at ₦1,140 and sell it at ₦1,145 however, it’s important to keep in mind that the rate can shift (either upwards or downwards) within hours.
The Nigeria parallel market (black market dollar exchange rate today) to the Nigerian Naira is as follows: For the Lagos market (black market) and Abuja (FCT Black Market Rates).
