Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 13th October 2026
Street traders in the Aboki market quoted the US dollar at about ₦1,365 to ₦1,375 when buying cash from customers and ₦1,375 to ₦1,390 when selling on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, across Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.
A person handing over $100 would therefore receive roughly ₦136,500–₦137,500, while someone needing the same amount of dollars would pay close to ₦137,500–₦139,000. The official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate published by the Central Bank of Nigeria stayed near ₦1,332 to ₦1,332.50 per dollar, leaving a street premium of roughly ₦43 to ₦58, or about 3 to 4 percent.

That is a modest softening from Monday’s tighter ₦1,380 selling print, as early Tuesday quotes showed some upward pressure on the dollar in parts of the informal market.
Demand from importers, travellers and students remained orderly rather than frantic, and external reserves were last reported near $54.9 billion, with oil receipts still supporting official liquidity. Quotes still differed a little by location, volume and the hour of the day, and operators warned that the informal rate can shift before the close of business.
The gap between the official window and the parallel market has stayed comparatively tight by recent historical standards, yet cash transactions outside the banking system remain the practical benchmark for many users who cannot obtain dollars at the CBN rate.
Anyone planning to change money was advised to confirm the live figure with a trusted bureau or dealer, because parallel-market prices are not fixed and can move on local supply and remittance inflows.
