Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 14th April 2026

As of Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the Naira continued to trade under pressure in Nigeria’s parallel foreign exchange market, with the US Dollar exchanging at approximately ₦1,390 to ₦1,400 per dollar according to popular trackers like Aboki Forex.

Dealers in major cities, including Lagos and Abuja, reported a buying rate hovering around ₦1,380 to ₦1,390 for those selling dollars, while buyers paid between ₦1,400 and ₦1,410 depending on the volume and location. This slight variation reflects ongoing supply constraints and steady demand from businesses and individuals seeking hard currency for imports, travel, and other transactions outside official channels.

The parallel market rate remains notably higher than the official window, where the Central Bank of Nigeria’s reference stood closer to ₦1,357 per dollar in recent sessions. The gap underscores persistent challenges in forex liquidity, even as authorities have made efforts to unify segments of the market in past reforms.

Traders attributed the current levels to sustained demand amid seasonal pressures and limited dollar inflows from some export sectors. For everyday Nigerians, this means higher costs for foreign goods, school fees abroad, and medical tourism, adding to the broader cost-of-living strains felt across the country.

Market watchers will be monitoring developments in the coming days, as any fresh interventions or improved oil revenues could influence the trajectory of both official and black market rates. For now, those planning dollar transactions are advised to compare quotes from reliable sources and exercise caution against fluctuating spreads.
