The rate published by CBN (the central bank) is ~416.
Banks cannot sell dollars for more than that, so for the most part they have stopped selling dollars.
But the reasons people and businesses are buying dollars is for protection against the falling naira exchange rate, as well as to fund purchases of goods from abroad for import. Bitcoin can be a substitute that does both!
