Currency
The Nigerian naira (NGN) is the official currency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Central Bank of Nigeria manages and distributes the Nigerian naira and attempts to maintain price stability with it. The naira has been continually devalued since its inception in 1973, and inflation remains above 10% as of 2019.
For the fairest rates and the highest likelihood of having dollars to sell to you, the Central Bank of Nigeria is the best bet. With locations in over 35 cities, there's probably one near you wherever you are in Abuja.
