Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 1st October 2026
Aboki dealers in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt quoted the US dollar at about ₦1,375 to ₦1,376 when buying cash from customers and ₦1,380 to ₦1,390 when selling on Thursday, 1 October 2026. That put $100 at roughly ₦137,500–₦137,600 for anyone selling dollars on the street and ₦138,000–₦139,000 for anyone buying them.
The official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate published by the Central Bank of Nigeria remained near ₦1,329 to ₦1,330 per dollar, so the informal premium stayed in the region of ₦50 to ₦60, or a little over 4 percent. Demand from travellers, students and importers was described as steady at the start of the new month rather than rushed, with external reserves still reported above $54 billion and oil receipts continuing to support official liquidity.

The gap between the official window and the parallel market has stayed comparatively narrow by recent historical standards, yet cash deals outside the banking system remain the practical reference for many people who cannot obtain dollars at the CBN rate.
Anyone planning an exchange was advised to confirm the live figure with a trusted bureau or dealer, because parallel-market prices are not uniform and can shift on local supply and remittance inflows.
