I was traveling to Ghana (via Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA) and urgently needed to convert my money to dollars so I could then convert to Ghana Cedis. The rates given to me by the Aboki’s were not even favorable, so I decided to try changing my money at the airport. My friend suggested I change my money with Travelex because they were converting at $1 to 350NGN at that time, but on getting there, the queue was not even funny. In fact, apart from the queue, the procedure was a long, tiring one. I had to get my boarding pass, queue up, then go through some ridiculous screening process to determine whether I was fit to get my money converted, pay the Naira into the bank, etc. and I had less than 30 minutes to commence boarding! I knew Travelex wasn’t going to work for me.
Anyways, I came across Sulah Bureau De Change, a CBN registered Bureau De Change. I noticed they had quite a number of outlets at the airport, but with very few customers, so I decided to stop by.
I was attended to by a very pleasant lady; she seemed extremely excited to get a customer. She ran through the rates for the day even though I could see it on the board. Sulah was converting at $1 to 420NGN at that time which was way expensive compared to Travelex. Tbh, it hurt me a lot to lose that much money but it was stress free. All I had to do was give her my Naira, and collect my dollars. Shikena!!
I rate my experience with Sulah Bureau De change a 9/10. The service was straight forward, prompt and stress free.
P.S If you have cheaper and stress free options for me to change money, please comment below! Thanks *kisses*
Yesterday when I flew back into the country at the arrival lounge I decided to change my dollars to naira at Sullah.
Then I got this cock and bull story that 1 dollar note changes for 200 as opposed to the 460 as displayed. And this same 1 dollar notes was bought from them at the then exchange rate of 420. I was so infuriated.????
Ehn! Thanks for the update!! I will change with the mallams. I dont even have time
What would you rate them overall?
