The naira opened Thursday, September 10, 2026, on a firmer footing in the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM), while the currency continued to trade at a weaker level in the parallel market.

Available market data put the official dollar-to-naira rate at about ₦1,322.72 per US dollar. The rate source records ₦1,322.72 to the dollar as of September 9, with the September 10 historical rate also listed at the same level.

In the parallel market, the dollar was quoted at about ₦1,380 to ₦1,390, depending on the direction of the transaction. One market tracker reported a buying rate of ₦1,380 and a selling rate of ₦1,390 early Thursday.

Another parallel-market tracker also put the dollar at around ₦1,390 on September 10, although rates can vary between locations and dealers.

The difference between the official NFEM rate of ₦1,322.72 and a parallel-market selling rate of ₦1,390 is about ₦67.28 per dollar.

Recent trading has shown relative strength for the naira in the official market. Reports citing Central Bank of Nigeria data said the currency traded around ₦1,320 per dollar on September 8, after recording further gains at the official window.

n

At the time of publication, the parallel market remained above the official rate, reflecting the continued difference between regulated foreign-exchange transactions and informal market pricing.

Exchange rates can change during the day depending on dollar supply, demand, trading activity and CBN interventions. The quoted parallel-market figures should therefore be treated as indicative rather than fixed transaction rates.

For Nigerians buying dollars for travel, school fees, imports, business transactions or other legitimate foreign-exchange needs, the actual rate offered by a bank or licensed Bureau de Change may differ from both the NFEM and parallel-market rates.
