This paper examined the monthly volatility of Naira/Dollar exchange rates in Nigeria between the periods of January, 1995 to January, 2016. Forecasting volatility remains to be an important step to be taken in several decision makings involving financial market. Traditional GARH models were usually applied in forecasting volatility of a financial market. This study was aim at enhancing the performance of these models in volatility forecasting in which both the traditional GARCH and Dynamic Neural Networks were hybridized to develop the proposed models offorecasting the volatility of Inflation rate in Nigeria. The values of the volatility estimated by the best fitted GARH model are used as input to the Neural Network. The inputs of the first hybrid model also included past values of other related endogenous variables. The second hybrid model takes as inputs both series of the simulated data and the inputs of the first hybrid model. The forecasts obtained by each of those hybrid models have been compared with those of GARCH model in terms of the actual volatility. The computational results demonstrate that the second hybrid model provides better volatility forecasts.
