Street dealers across major Nigerian cities opened on Saturday, 14 November 2026, with the informal Aboki rate for the United States dollar holding in a narrow band after the previous day’s movements.
Most operators were buying the greenback from customers at roughly ₦1,425 to ₦1,438 and selling it at ₦1,442 to ₦1,445, with the exact quote varying by city, transaction size, and the condition of the notes.

A person exchanging $100 would typically receive between ₦142,500 and ₦143,800, while someone purchasing the same amount would pay closer to ₦144,200 to ₦144,500.
The Central Bank of Nigeria’s latest Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate stood near ₦1,350 to ₦1,355 per dollar, leaving a street premium of about ₦85 to ₦95, or roughly 6 to 7 percent above the official window.
Demand from importers, students making overseas payments, and individuals seeking cash dollars remained moderate at the start of the weekend. External reserves hovering in the mid-$54 billion range, along with ongoing oil-related inflows, have continued to support liquidity in the formal market even as the parallel segment reflects stronger immediate demand for physical currency.
Quotes differed slightly between Lagos, Abuja, Kano, and Port Harcourt, and dealers indicated that the informal rate could still adjust later in the day if local supply tightened or remittance inflows strengthened.
The gap between the official rate and the parallel market stays narrower than the double-digit premiums recorded in earlier periods, though cash dollar availability continues to command a modest premium over the regulated window.
