The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has extended the timeframe for eligible bureau de change (BDC) operators to access the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM) for foreign exchange (FX).
On December 20 2024 CBN granted BDC operators temporary access to NAFEM to purchase $25,000 weekly from December 19, 2024, to January 30, 2025.
CBN said BDCs will purchase FX from authorised dealers, which are banks licenced by the apex bank to deal in foreign exchange, to meet retail market demand.
However, in a circular on Monday by W.J. Kanya, acting director, trade and exchange department, CBN said the deadline has been extended to May 30.
“We refer to our circular TED/FEM/PUB/FPC/001/030 dated December 18, 2024, which granted temporary access to existing BDCs to the NFEM for the purchase of FX from Authorised Dealers, subject to a weekly cap of USD25,000.00,” the statement reads.
“The expiry date of January 31 2025 which was granted in the above mentioned circular has been extended to May 30, 2025.
“All other terms and conditions in the above mentioned circular remain unchanged.
“The CBN remains committed to fully functional foreign exchange market and will continue to provide liquidity when necessary to manage price volatility.”
Other sources of FX for BDC operators, according to a statement by the CBN on February 24, 2024, are tourists, returnees from the diaspora, and expatriates with foreign exchange inflows from work, travel, investment or their domiciliary accounts.
Also mentioned are residents with foreign exchange inflows from work, travel, investment or their domiciliary accounts, International Money Transfer Operators (IMTOs), embassies and hotels that are authorised buyers of FX.

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.
