This endpoint returns the most recent NGN exchange rates for all supported currencies. Each rate object includes:

rate — how many NGN one unit of the foreign currency costs (e.g. 1603.50 means $1 = ₦1,603.50)
inverse_rate — how much foreign currency ₦1 buys (e.g. 0.000624)
daily_change and daily_change_percent — movement since the previous day

Rates are sourced from NGN Market’s live data feed and reflect the latest available market close. This endpoint accepts no query parameters.
