Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 3rd October 2026
Weekend trading in the Aboki market was thinner than on a normal weekday, but street dealers in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt still quoted the US dollar on Saturday, 3 October 2026, at roughly ₦1,355 to ₦1,372 when buying cash from customers and ₦1,370 to ₦1,382 when selling.
That left $100 at about ₦135,500–₦137,200 for anyone handing dollars to a dealer and close to ₦137,000–₦138,200 for anyone needing the same amount. The official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate published by the Central Bank of Nigeria closed Friday near ₦1,330 per dollar, so the informal premium stayed around ₦40 to ₦52, or roughly 3 to 4 percent.

Friday’s session had already shown a slightly firmer naira on the street compared with earlier in the week, and Saturday quotes largely held that narrower band rather than reversing it. External reserves were last reported near $54.93 billion, and oil receipts have continued to support official liquidity, though weekend cash demand from travellers was lighter than midweek importer demand.
Quotes still differed by location and the size of the deal, and operators said the informal rate can still move before business resumes on Monday. The gap between the official window and the parallel market has stayed comparatively tight by recent 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, because weekend prices are not uniform and can shift on local supply.
