The parallel market exchange rate for the Nigerian naira against the United States dollar stood at approximately ₦1,415 to buy and ₦1,428 to sell on Thursday, 13 August 2026, according to reports from major AbokiFX trackers and bureau de change operators in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.  

This means that individuals seeking to purchase one US dollar from street-level dealers or informal traders would pay around ₦1,428, while those looking to sell a dollar to the same operators could expect to receive about ₦1,415. For larger sums, 100 dollars would therefore exchange for roughly ₦142,800 when buying from the parallel market and ₦141,500 when selling into it.  

The official Central Bank of Nigeria rate through the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market remained lower, hovering near ₦1,360 to ₦1,365 per dollar. The gap between the two markets continues to reflect ongoing differences in foreign exchange supply and demand, with many Nigerians relying on the parallel channel for quicker access to hard currency.

Rates can still vary slightly depending on location, the volume of the transaction, and the individual dealer, so market participants are advised to confirm the latest figures before completing any exchange.
