Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 13th November 2026
Street dealers in major Nigerian cities opened on Friday, 13 November 2026, with the informal Aboki rate for the United States dollar holding in a relatively stable band after recent pressure.
Most operators were buying the greenback from customers at roughly ₦1,425 to ₦1,433 and selling it at ₦1,440 to ₦1,445, with the precise quote depending on location, the size of the transaction, and the condition of the notes.

A customer exchanging $100 would typically receive between ₦142,500 and ₦143,300, while someone buying the same amount would pay closer to ₦144,000 to ₦144,500.
The Central Bank of Nigeria’s latest published Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate stood near ₦1,355 to ₦1,358 per dollar, leaving a street premium of about ₦80 to ₦90, or roughly 6 percent above the official window.
Demand from importers, students arranging overseas payments, and individuals seeking hard currency appeared moderate at the start of the day. External reserves, which have hovered in the mid-$54 billion range, together with continued oil-related inflows, have helped support liquidity in the official market even as the parallel market continues to reflect stronger immediate demand for cash dollars.
Quotes still differed slightly between Lagos, Abuja, Kano, and Port Harcourt, and dealers indicated that the informal rate could shift later in the day if local supply tightened or remittance inflows picked up. The gap between the official rate and the parallel market remains narrower than the double-digit premiums seen in earlier periods.
Yet, cash transactions outside the banking system continue to serve as the practical reference point for many households and small businesses that cannot readily obtain dollars through official channels.
