The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Nigerian naira continues to draw significant attention from individuals and businesses alike, especially those involved in international trade and remittances.
On Saturday, April 12, 2025, activity in the Lagos parallel market, commonly known as the black market shows that the buying rate for one US dollar stands at ₦1570, while the selling rate is ₦1575.
These figures are sourced from traders and Bureau De Change (BDC) operators who are active in key currency exchange hubs across Lagos.
Why the Black Market Rate Matters
Although the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does not officially recognize or support the use of the black market for foreign exchange transactions, many Nigerians still rely on it due to difficulties in accessing forex through official banking channels. Issues such as limited availability, long processing times, and strict documentation requirements have made the black market a more accessible, albeit riskier, alternative.
CBN’s Official Position
The CBN continues to warn against participating in parallel market trading, stating that such activities undermine the stability of the national currency. The apex bank urges those in need of foreign currency to apply through authorized financial institutions, which are mandated to follow official exchange rates.
Nonetheless, the disparity between the official and unofficial markets persists, often influenced by market forces such as demand, inflation, and fluctuations in Nigeria’s foreign reserves.

Key Notes for Forex Users
The exchange rates in the black market often differ slightly from one location or dealer to another due to market volatility and negotiation margins.
Rates can also fluctuate within hours based on economic news, government policies, and global financial trends.
It is advisable to compare rates from multiple sources before conducting any large transactions, especially in volatile markets.
What This Means for Nigerians
The current forex rates reflect continued pressure on the naira, and many analysts believe that inflation, reduced oil revenue, and inconsistent monetary policies are key factors driving the demand for the dollar. For everyday Nigerians, this means the cost of imported goods remains high, and businesses dependent on international suppliers face growing challenges.
Until forex supply stabilizes through official channels, the black market will likely remain a major player in Nigeria’s currency landscape.

Oyedele Delivers ₦39.63bn Lifeline to 24,814 Pensioners as PTAD Clears Long-Standing DBS Liabilities
L:R: Director General of PTAD, Mrs Tolulope Odunaiya in a warm handshake with the Minister of Finance, Mr Taiwo Oyedele in Abuja.
The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, has reaffirmed his commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerian pensioners with the successful disbursement of ₦39.63 billion to 24,814 eligible Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS) pensioners, ending years of anxious waiting for thousands of retirees.
Working under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) carried out the payments following the Minister’s directive to prioritise the settlement of verified pension liabilities, bringing relief to beneficiaries across the country.
Mr. Oyedele said the payment reflects the administration’s determination to ensure that retired public servants receive the benefits they earned through decades of dedicated service.
“A nation that values service must also honour those who gave their productive years in its service. This payment is about people, not just figures. It is about restoring confidence, rewarding sacrifice and giving thousands of pensioners and their families the reassurance that they have not been forgotten.”
The Minister explained that the disbursement covered three categories of outstanding pension obligations that had accumulated over the years.
According to him, PTAD paid ₦25,053,703,604.12 to clear the outstanding 35-month pension liability owed to 9,675 eligible Defined Benefit Scheme pensioners of the defunct NITEL/MTEL.
The Directorate also disbursed ₦9,481,886,576.53, representing the initial 50 per cent payment of the Back End Computation (BEC) arrears due to 3,959 eligible PHCN Defined Benefit Scheme pensioners.
In addition, PTAD paid ₦5,094,784,054.27, representing the outstanding 50 per cent balance of the 10.66 per cent and 12.95 per cent pension increment arrears due to 11,180 eligible Defined Benefit Scheme pensioners of the defunct Assurance Bank, NICON Insurance, NITEL and People’s Bank of Nigeria.
For many of the beneficiaries, the payments mark the end of years of uncertainty. They provide the means to meet pressing family needs, pay medical bills, support loved ones and enjoy retirement with greater peace of mind.
Mr. Oyedele said government remains mindful of the real lives behind every pension payment.
“Behind every approved payment is a retiree who served this country faithfully, a family that has waited patiently and a story that deserves a positive ending. We will continue to support measures that improve the lives of our senior citizens while maintaining fiscal discipline and accountability.”
The Minister commended the management and staff of PTAD for the prompt implementation of the directive, describing the successful disbursement as evidence of what can be achieved when institutions work together in the public interest.
“PTAD has demonstrated professionalism in implementing this exercise. The Ministry will continue to provide the policy direction and support required to strengthen pension administration and ensure that verified obligations are settled as resources become available.”
The Director-General of PTAD, Mrs. Tolulope Odunaiya, said the Directorate remained focused on delivering efficient pension administration and expressed appreciation to the Honourable Minister for his leadership and support, which made the release and prompt disbursement of the funds possible.
The latest payment represents another important step in the Federal Government’s efforts to improve the welfare of retirees and ensure that public institutions deliver meaningful outcomes for Nigerians under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
