Sources from Bureau De Change (BDC) operators in Lagos reported the parallel market rates. On Wednesday, December 10th, 2025, they were selling the US Dollar at ₦1487. The buying rate stood at ₦1480.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does not officially recognize the parallel market. It consistently advises individuals seeking foreign exchange to use official banking channels.
