What Is The Official Exchange Rate For Dollar To Naira Today?
The exchange rate between the Naira and the US dollar according to the data released on the FMDQ Security Exchange, the official forex trading portal showed that the Naira opened at ₦1544.00 and per $1 on Monday, December 30, 2024 and closed at ₦1538.25 per $1 on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
However, the Naira is trading as high as ₦1,655 per Dollar at the black market even though the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced the unification of all segments of the foreign exchange market.
The apex bank, in a circular on Wednesday 14th June 2023, said all FX windows were now collapsed into the investors & exporters (I&E) window.
The statement read, “Abolishment of segmentation. All segments are now collapsed into the Investors and Exporters (I&E) window. Applications for medicals, school fees, BTA/PTA, and SMEs would continue to be processed through deposit money banks.
“Re-introduction of the “Willing Buyer, Willing Seller” model at the I&E Window. Operations in this window shall be guided by the extant circular on the establishment of the window, dated 21 April 2017, and referenced FM/DIR/CIR/GEN/08/007. All eligible transactions are permitted to access foreign exchange at this window.
“The operational rate for all government-related transactions shall be the weighted average rate of the preceding day’s executed transactions at the I&E window, calculated to two (2) decimal places.
“Proscription of trading limits on oversold FX positions with permission to hedge short positions with OTC futures. Limits on overbought positions shall be zero.
“Re-introduction of order-based two-way quotes, with bid-ask spread of N1. All transactions shall be cleared by a Central Counter Party (CCP).
“Reintroduction of Order Book to ensure transparency of orders and seamless execution of trades.
“The operational hours of trades shall be from 9 a.m to 4 p.m, Nigeria time.”
The apex noted that further guidance on the operational changes would be communicated to authorized dealers and the general public in due course.
The changes to operations in the country’s FX market imply that Nigeria has eased its control of the naira, allowing the local currency to float freely.
Meanwhile, a free-floating exchange rate occurs when a government allows the exchange rate to be determined purely by market forces and there is no attempt to ask the central bank to influence the external value of the exchange rate.
The launch of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE Initial Public Offering on Monday triggered a surge in demand that overwhelmed two popular Nigerian investment platforms, Bamboo and Cowrywise.
Both platforms reported unusually high traffic as retail investors rushed to subscribe to the offer, with some users unable to log into their accounts.
Bamboo announced the access difficulties on X, attributing them to the unexpected volume of traffic generated by investors seeking to participate in the Dangote IPO.
“Hey everyone, we’re getting a much higher than expected traffic trying to get into the Dangote IPO and it’s making it difficult for some users to log into the Bamboo app. We’re working on a fix and it will be up and running shortly,” the platform said.
Cowrywise also acknowledged increased traffic on its platform.
“We’re currently seeing more traffic than usual on the Cowrywise app. Our team is already on it and working to get things back to normal. Thanks for your patience, everyone,” it said in a post on X.
The two platforms are among the approved fintech channels through which investors can subscribe to the Dangote Refinery public offer.
The rush came as the offer opened to investors on Monday, with the public offer seeking to raise about N2.15tn through the sale of 4.1 billion ordinary shares at N525 each.
Investors can subscribe for a minimum of 10 shares, valued at N5,250, a structure designed to encourage broad participation by retail investors.
The Dangote Refinery IPO is one of the largest public share offerings in Africa. The refinery, owned by the Dangote Group, plans to use the proceeds to support expansion and increase its refining capacity.
The offer has generated significant interest among retail investors, following efforts to promote the opportunity as a means of allowing Nigerians and other African investors to own shares in one of the continent’s biggest industrial projects.
The surge in demand highlights the scale of interest in the offer while exposing the pressure that high-demand investment events can place on digital platforms.
The Securities and Exchange Commission had earlier warned investors against unauthorised promotions relating to a purported Dangote Refinery IPO before the formal offer received regulatory approval.
In June, the commission said no application for the IPO had been filed or approved at the time and directed capital market operators to stop accepting deposits or expressions of interest.
Following regulatory approval, the Dangote Refinery public offer was cleared to proceed, with the company publishing a list of approved banks, fintechs, mobile operators and NGX Invest through which investors can subscribe.

The pump price of petrol has risen to as high as N1,430 per litre in parts of Abuja following an increase in the wholesale price of Premium Motor Spirit by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
The refinery raised its gantry price from N1,265 to N1,350 per litre, representing an N85 or 6.7 per cent increase, as international crude oil prices continued to climb.
The latest adjustment has already triggered fresh increases at filling stations across the Federal Capital Territory, with motorists paying between N1,395 and N1,430 per litre, depending on the outlet.
Checks in Abuja on Sunday showed that MRS filling stations had moved their pump price from N1,350 to N1,395 per litre, while NIPCO increased its price to N1,430. Mobil outlets also raised theirs to N1,400 per litre.
An attendant at an MRS outlet, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said motorists should expect another increase as stations begin receiving products purchased at the new depot price.
“We are currently selling our old stock at N1,395 per litre, but from tomorrow, once the new stock arrives, the price will be higher,” she said.
The development has raised concerns among economists and other stakeholders over its likely effect on transportation, food prices and the wider cost of living.
An economist and development expert, Aliyu Ilias, warned that another increase in petrol prices could push up inflation, arguing that higher fuel costs would eventually be reflected in transportation and production expenses.
Similarly, former Secretary-General of the Organisation of African Trade Union Unity, Owei Lakemfa, urged the Federal Government to strengthen regulation and economic planning to cushion consumers from fluctuations in global crude prices.
Lakemfa argued that domestic petrol prices should not automatically rise whenever geopolitical tensions cause crude prices to increase internationally, stressing that Nigeria’s status as a crude oil producer should give it an advantage in refining and supplying petroleum products locally.
Meanwhile, the National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, said marketers had been forced to adjust their pump prices following successive changes in the refinery’s pricing.
Ukadike said the frequent adjustments were creating uncertainty for both petroleum dealers and consumers because the cost of replacing existing stock could change within a short period.
