Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 24th January 2026

The Nigerian Naira held steady in the parallel market today, with the Aboki Forex rate showing the US Dollar at about ₦1,482 to ₦1,490, based on trader reports and online trackers.

Popular black market platforms and aggregators, including AbokiForex.app, listed today’s selling rate for 1 USD at ₦1,482 in the parallel market.

This figure aligns closely with recent daily averages, where buy rates hovered around ₦1,482, and sell rates reached up to ₦1,490–₦1,500 in high-demand locations such as Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano. For context:

• Black Market (Parallel Market) Rate: ₦1,482 – ₦1,490 per $1 (Aboki Forex / trader consensus today)
• Official CBN / Interbank Rate: Around ₦1,420 – ₦1,422 per $1 (based on recent Central Bank of Nigeria publications and FMDQ data). This is about ₦60–₦70 below the parallel (black) market rate reported today, indicating a continued premium for dollars in the informal market.
• Recent Trend: The Naira has slightly appreciated in some sessions this week, supported by improved foreign exchange reserves, reportedly at $46 billion. However, the parallel market premium persists, with the gap between official and black market rates remaining in the ₦60–₦70 range.

Traders attribute today’s stability to balanced supply and demand in the informal FX segment, amid ongoing economic measures and global dollar movements. Some reports noted minor depreciation in certain locations, with isolated sell rates ranging from ₦1,495 to ₦1,500, but the dominant Aboki rate remained near ₦1,482.

Note: Black market rates are unofficial, vary by location, dealer, and transaction size, and are subject to rapid change. For the most accurate real-time updates, check trusted aggregators like AbokiForex.app or local bureau de change operators.

This development comes as Nigeria’s foreign reserves hit a notable milestone, contributing to cautious optimism in currency markets despite persistent inflationary and import pressures.
