Street dealers in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt kept the informal Aboki rate for the United States dollar largely steady as trading opened on Wednesday, 11 November. Most operators bought the currency from customers at about ₦1,410 to ₦1,420 and sold it at ₦1,420 to ₦1,430.

Demand from importers, students preparing for overseas travel and individuals seeking hard currency remained moderate as the day began. External reserves, which have held in the mid-$50 billion range, and continuing oil inflows have supported liquidity in the official market.
Quotes differed slightly between dealers and cities, and operators said the informal rate could still move before the close of business if local supply tightens or remittance inflows pick up.
The gap between the official window and the parallel market remains narrow by the standards of recent years. Cash transactions outside the banking system nevertheless serve as the practical reference point for many households and small businesses that cannot readily obtain dollars at the official rate.
Consumers planning to exchange currency are advised to confirm live quotes with a trusted bureau or dealer, as parallel-market prices are not uniform and can shift with local conditions during the day.
