Dollar to Naira exchange rate update – September 12, 2026
The naira maintained its tussle with the US dollar at the official market on Friday, according to Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) data reported by Naija News.
| Market | Friday Rate | Thursday Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Official (CBN) | ₦1,326.5192/$1 | ₦1,328.2154/$1 |
| Parallel (Black Market) | ₦1,390/$1 | — |
The official rate showed a slight appreciation from the previous day’s figure, though rates offered by commercial banks, BDC operators, and other forex dealers may vary due to transaction margins and prevailing demand-supply conditions.
Analysts say market watchers will keep an eye on forex inflows, dollar demand, and CBN policy direction to determine whether the naira can hold on to its gains for the rest of the month.
