Naira falls to lowest at parallel market as euro, pounds gain

Naira has fallen to the lowest in 2022 at the parallel market with euro and pounds gain massively.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the Nigerian official currency, naira on Wednesday, February 16, 2022, fell massively against the British Pounds and Euro, weeks after maintaining the same position at the parallel market better known as the black market late January 2022.

This online news platform understands that while the naira has fallen against Pounds and Euro, it however, maintained the position it closed last week against the United States dollar at the black market.

A survey conducted by IDOMA VOICE at the Bureau De Change (BDC) market in Ogba area of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial city, on Thursday morning, February 17, 2022, shows that the naira to usd exchanged at N575/$1, while pounds to naira exchanged at N7560/£1 and euro to naira exchanged at N640/1€ in what is a massive fall of the naira against pounds and euro.

Thursday, February 17, 2022 black exchange rates:

1 dollar to naira = N575/$1
1 pound to naira = N640/1€
1 euro to naira = N760/£1

Even though the dollar to naira opened in the parallel market at ₦575 per $1 today, IDOMA VOICE reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does not recognise the parallel market, otherwise known as the black market. The apex bank has therefore directed anyone who requires forex to approach their bank, insisting that the I&E window is the only known exchange.

Meanwhile, IDOMA VOICE reports that the USD started this week at ₦575 in Parallel Market also known as Black Market on Monday, February 14, 2022 in Lagos Nigeria, after it opened at 571 last week Monday, February 7, 2022. A change of N0.
