Currency traders told Okay.ng that the demand for foreign currencies remains steady, with individuals and businesses seeking dollars, pounds, and euros for imports, overseas tuition, and travel expenses. They added that black market rates continue to fluctuate daily, driven by forex scarcity and speculative trading.

On the official side, the CBN dollar to naira rate today is published on the Investors’ and Exporters’ (I&E) window, often at lower levels than the black market. Okay.ng reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria has consistently warned against using unofficial exchange channels.
