USD to NGN Converter

About the USD/NGN Pair

Nigeria has one of the largest diasporas in Africa, and remittances sent home in US dollars are a major part of many Nigerian households' income — which makes USD/NGN one of the most-checked pairs by anyone with family or business ties to the country. The naira has historically traded at different rates across official and parallel (black market) channels, though the Central Bank of Nigeria has pursued reforms aimed at unifying these rates — always confirm which rate a specific transfer service or exchange point is actually offering you before sending money.

Why is there sometimes a big difference between official and market NGN rates?
