Even though the dollar to naira opened in the parallel market at ₦570 per $1 in Lagos,  Newsonline 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.
