The naira continued its volatility against the US dollar on Friday, September 26, 2025, with fresh figures from the parallel market (popularly called Aboki FX) showing mixed buying and selling rates.
According to Bureau De Change (BDC) operators in Lagos, the dollar was bought at ₦1520 and sold at ₦1505 at the black market on Friday.
Meanwhile, the official exchange rate from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) showed a lower range, with the dollar trading between ₦1471 (lowest) and ₦1487 (highest).
It is important to note that the CBN does not recognize the parallel market, advising individuals to conduct foreign exchange transactions only through official banking channels.
However, many Nigerians still rely heavily on the black market due to limited forex accessibility from banks.
