Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 22nd September 2026
The Nigerian naira traded at a premium to the official window in the parallel market on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, as Bureau de Change operators and street dealers in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt quoted the dollar in a tight band around ₦1,375 to buy and ₦1,390 to sell.
That put the unofficial Aboki rate roughly ₦44 to ₦59 above the Central Bank of Nigeria’s latest published Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market figure of about ₦1,331 per dollar, a gap of just over 4 percent that market watchers described as relatively contained compared with the wider spreads seen earlier in the year.

Dealers said demand from importers and travellers remained steady while supply from diaspora remittances and some official inflows kept the street price from leaping higher, though quotes still moved by a few naira depending on location and the size of the transaction.
One hundred dollars therefore cost about ₦139,000 at the selling rate used by most Aboki traders, while someone selling the same amount received closer to ₦137,500.
The official–parallel difference has narrowed since the 2023 unification of the exchange rate, yet the unofficial market continues to set the price many Nigerians actually pay when banks cannot meet demand immediately. External reserves have edged higher in recent weeks and foreign portfolio investors have supplied a larger share of dollar liquidity at the official window, factors that traders said helped limit further pressure on the naira even as oil-revenue timing and seasonal import needs still influence daily quotes.
Rates can shift during the day, so travellers and businesses are advised to confirm the latest figure with a licensed operator before completing any exchange.
