Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 10th August 2026

As of Monday, 10th August 2026, the Nigerian naira is exchanging at approximately ₦1,425 to one US dollar in the parallel or black market, commonly referred to as the Aboki rate, according to prevailing quotes from Bureau de Change operators and street traders in major cities including Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.

Dealers are buying the dollar at around ₦1,410 while selling it for ₦1,425, creating a modest spread that reflects ongoing demand for hard currency in the informal segment of the foreign exchange market.  

This parallel market rate stands higher than the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market window figures, which opened the week near ₦1,362 to ₦1,366 per dollar.

The gap of roughly ₦60 between the official and street rates continues to highlight differences in liquidity and accessibility, with many individuals and small businesses turning to Aboki traders for quicker cash transactions outside formal banking channels.  

Market participants note relative stability in the naira’s parallel market performance at the start of the week, though traders remain watchful of factors such as foreign exchange supply, oil revenue inflows, and any interventions by the Central Bank of Nigeria that could influence availability.

Rates can vary slightly depending on location, transaction volume, and the specific dealer, so those seeking to exchange currency are advised to compare quotes carefully.  

Overall, the Aboki Naira-to-Dollar black market rate on 10th August 2026 settles at a sell price of ₦1,425 and a buy price of ₦1,410, providing a clear snapshot of current street-level trading conditions amid the broader foreign exchange landscape.
