It’s essential to highlight that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) does not officially recognize black market transactions and instead encourages individuals who wish to obtain foreign currency to go through their official banking channels. The CBN’s intention is to regulate and control currency distribution more effectively, aiming to stabilize the foreign exchange market and curb unregulated trading.
