Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 27th October 2026

The Nigerian naira opened trading on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, with street dealers in the informal Aboki market quoting the United States dollar at roughly ₦1,370 to ₦1,375 when buying cash from customers and ₦1,385 to ₦1,390 when selling across major centres including Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.

That left a traveller or trader who handed over $100 receiving about ₦137,000 to ₦137,500, while anyone needing the same amount of hard currency paid close to ₦138,500 to ₦139,000.

The Central Bank of Nigeria’s official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate stayed near ₦1,362 to ₦1,368 per dollar, so the street premium held in the region of ₦20 to ₦28, or roughly 1.5 to 2 percent. Demand from importers, students and travellers remained orderly rather than intense, supported by external reserves reported near $54–55 billion and continued oil receipts that have helped sustain official liquidity.

Quotes still varied slightly by location, volume and the time of day, and operators noted that the informal rate can shift before the close of business. The gap between the official window and the parallel market has stayed comparatively narrow by recent historical standards, yet cash transactions outside the banking system continue to serve as the practical benchmark for many users who cannot obtain dollars at the CBN rate.

Anyone planning an exchange was advised to confirm the live quote with a trusted bureau or dealer, because parallel-market prices are not uniform and can move on local supply and remittance inflows.
