There have been growing tensions as Naira, the country’s currency, fell to N610 per dollar on the parallel market in Lagos and Abuja over the weekend, increasing the gap between official and parallel market exchange rates to N191.

In other locations such as Ibadan, Abeokuta, and Benin City, the exchange rate was between N600 and N605 per dollar.

As of Friday, the official rate at the Investors and Exporters window was 419.02. Despite the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) adamant opposition to favoring parallel market operators, the shortage of the greenback through official channels frequently drives those in need of dollars to black market operators.

The recent jump in the black market exchange rate of the dollar, according to bureau de change sources, is attributable to increased political activity, as political parties hold their primary elections this week.

“The pressure on the naira is mainly from politicians who feel it simpler to do their transactions in the course of their politicking in dollars rather than the local currency because of the ease of portability,” a black market operator told newsmen.
