According to data published on the Central Bank of Nigeria’s website, at the close of business Thursday, naira closed at N414.79 to a dollar.
This implies a N0.18 or 0.04 per cent decline from N414.61 per $1 dollar it exchanged in the previous session on Wednesday.
Naira reached an intraday high of N413.79 and a low of N414.29 before closing at N414.79 on Thursday.
Black market dealers in Abuja said they exchanged the naira with the greenback currency at N565.00 to a dollar
and sold at N568.00, against the N567.00 rate it exchanged in the previous market segment on Wednesday.

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.
