Important CBN Position on Black Market Transactions

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has repeatedly emphasized that it does not recognize the black market as an official channel for forex trading. The apex bank maintains that all legitimate foreign exchange transactions should be conducted through commercial banks or other authorized financial institutions.
Despite this directive, many Nigerians still resort to the parallel market due to delays, documentation requirements, or limited access to forex through official channels.

Shifts in dollar supply and demand
Market speculation
Economic indicators such as inflation and interest rates
Government or CBN policy actions

The petrol market recorded another change as the Dangote Refinery and a few other depot operators reduced their gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit to ₦840 per litre.

Naijapunchnews reports that new rate moved down from the previous ₦843, following a fall in the price of Brent crude, which averaged $62 per barrel over the weekend.

The drop in crude cost pushed refiners and other players in the downstream market to adjust their prices.

Market checks showed that the Dangote Refinery, AIPEC and NIPCO all moved their depot price to ₦840 per litre.

Other depots reviewed their rates differently, with Rainoil at ₦844, Sigmund at ₦858, Master Energy at ₦858 and Northwest at ₦850 per litre.

Operators linked the price change to the dip in global crude, which affects refining and distribution costs.
