Naira Strengthens to N1,328.22 per Dollar as Parallel Rate Holds Steady

The naira regained ground against the US dollar on Thursday, September 10, 2026, in Nigeria’s official foreign-exchange market, while its parallel-market rate held steady.

What happened in the currency market

  1. Central Bank of Nigeria figures put the official exchange rate at N1,328.22 per dollar on Thursday, compared with N1,329.21 a day earlier. The move represented a N0.99 gain for the naira.
  2. In the parallel market, the currency traded at N1,390 to the dollar, unchanged from Wednesday.
