The Nigerian Naira closed the final trading day of the week on a stable note against the United States Dollar in the parallel market.
As of Friday, November 28th 2025, the Dollar to Naira Black Market exchange rate is ₦1,450 per dollar for buying and ₦1,460 per dollar for selling, according to reports from active Bureau De Change (BDC) operators in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, and Kano.
Despite heightened holiday-driven demand for forex, the market continues to maintain a relatively steady pricing structure due to consistent inflows from informal remittance channels and stable liquidity conditions. Traders say buyers remain cautious as rates fluctuate only within narrow margins this week.

Why the Naira Remains Stable Despite Festive Demand
Market analysts outline several positive factors responsible for today’s stable pricing:
✔ Strong Remittance Inflows
Diaspora transfers into Nigeria stay elevated during the holiday season, boosting liquidity.
✔ Robust Oil Price Performance
Crude oil trading consistently above $85 per barrel helps reinforce Nigeria’s forex reserves.
✔ Managed Import Activity
Many retailers and SMEs are pacing their FX sourcing to avoid pushing up the market rate.
✔ Moderated Speculation
Currency holders are trading cautiously amid a predictable rate environment — fewer hoarding activities.
✔ Consistent Cash Circulation
BDC operators report no significant shortage of physical dollars this week.
These dynamics enable the Naira to absorb pressure without slipping significantly.
Economic Implications for Nigerians
The Naira’s stability in the Black Market helps soften broader market risks:
