Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 15th November 2026
Street dealers in Nigeria’s parallel market opened on Sunday, 15 November 2026, with the Aboki rate for the United States dollar holding in a relatively tight band after the weekend’s quieter trading.
Most Bureau de Change operators were buying cash dollars from customers at roughly ₦1,425 to ₦1,435 and selling them at ₦1,440 to ₦1,445, with the precise quote depending on the city, the size of the transaction and the condition of the notes.

Someone handing over $100 would typically receive between ₦142,500 and ₦143,500, while a buyer seeking the same amount would pay closer to ₦144,000 to ₦144,500. Larger sums scaled accordingly, and dealers noted that rates could still shift later in the day if local cash supply tightened or remittance inflows strengthened.
At the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market window, the naira last traded near ₦1,352 to ₦1,358 per dollar, leaving a street premium of about ₦85 to ₦95, or roughly 6 to 7 percent above the regulated rate.
External reserves remaining in the mid-$54 billion range, together with ongoing oil-related inflows, have continued to support liquidity in the formal market even as immediate demand for physical dollars keeps the parallel segment modestly higher.
Quotes varied slightly across Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt, reflecting differences in local supply and the urgency of buyers. Demand from importers, students settling overseas fees and individuals needing cash dollars stayed moderate at the start of the new week.
The gap between the two markets remains narrower than the wider premiums seen in earlier periods. However, access to physical dollars continues to command a clear premium over the official window.
