Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 13th February 2026

The Nigerian Naira held steady in the parallel market on February 13, 2026, with the black market exchange rate for the US Dollar trading around ₦1,425 to ₦1,440 per $1, depending on location and dealer.

In major cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano, dealers typically offered to buy Dollars at approximately ₦1,420 and sell at ₦1,440, maintaining a narrow spread of about ₦20.

Aggregated data from platforms tracking Aboki rates showed the selling price settling near ₦1,440 in user reports and community updates, while some sources listed it closer to ₦1,425 to ₦1,435 for sell transactions. This reflected minor stability compared to the previous day, with slight softening in some quotes but no major shifts.

In contrast, the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) rate from the Central Bank hovered around ₦1,355 to ₦1,356 per Dollar, leaving the parallel premium in the range of ₦70 to ₦85 higher than the regulated window.

The relative calm stemmed from ongoing forex supply measures, steady oil revenue inflows, and cautious trading patterns as the week progressed. Demand from importers, travelers, and informal businesses persisted, but interventions appeared to keep volatility in check.

Black market rates remain unregulated and can differ by transaction size, dealer, or even time of day, so checking multiple trusted trackers or local contacts is always recommended for the most accurate picture. The Naira has demonstrated resilience so far in early 2026, though external factors and policy developments could influence future movements.
