Another operator confirmed that the rate opened at N550 per $1 and said, “There is uncertainty in the market at the moment because of CBN and AbokiFX fight so many people are selling with fear that it might go back to the CBN official rate in the black market.”
Another operator said before today; it was easy for customers buying dollars to confirm prices from AbokiFX, but with AbokiFX out of the way now, it is difficult to do that, and that has affected the rate of the dollar.
