Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 15th February 2026

The Nigerian Naira held steady in the parallel market this morning as traders awaited fresh signals from the Central Bank of Nigeria and monitored movements in global crude oil prices.

According to Aboki Forex and dealer reports collected across Lagos, Abuja, Kano, and Port Harcourt, the black market rate for one US dollar is trading around ₦1,425 this morning.

Dealers are buying dollars at approximately ₦1,420–₦1,425 while customers purchasing dollars are paying between ₦1,425 and ₦1,440, depending on location, volume, and relationship with the seller.

The rate has shown almost no movement since yesterday’s close, with several platforms recording a 0% daily change. The parallel market premium over the official window remains in the ₦65–₦85 range, as the CBN’s NFEM rate was last quoted near ₦1,355–₦1,358 per dollar.

Market participants say the current calm follows weeks of consistent forex supply through official channels, improved diaspora remittances, and lower speculative pressure compared with late 2025. However, many traders are staying watchful for any surprise policy announcement or sharp drop in Brent crude that could quickly shift sentiment.

Black market rates remain unregulated, vary by dealer, and can change rapidly within hours.
