NIP stops at the Nigerian border

NIP can move NGN from your bank to the transfer company within Nigeria, but it does not send the money to Rwanda.

The company still needs an approved cross-border route for the conversion and payout.

For a bank wire, money already held in a domiciliary account is generally easier to document than foreign currency bought informally and deposited as cash.

Check the CBN licence

Use the CBN's licensed institution records and confirm that the service is authorised for money transfers.

Do not send naira to a personal account or an unknown USDT seller because the quoted rate is better.

If the transfer fails, there may be no real way to recover it.
