Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 5th September 2026
The Nigerian naira traded at a parallel-market rate of about ₦1,400 to buy one United States dollar and ₦1,410 to sell one dollar in major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt on Saturday, 5 September 2026, according to figures associated with Aboki FX trackers.
That street price left a gap of roughly ₦80 to ₦90 against the official window, where the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate was reported near ₦1,321 to ₦1,327 per dollar in the latest available sessions.

Traders said demand for hard currency remained firm among importers, travellers and households seeking to hedge against inflation, even as official reserves have been described as relatively healthier than in previous years.
The premium of about 6 percent over the official quote is narrower than the wide spreads seen in earlier periods of acute dollar shortage. Yet, it still means a traveller or small business paying cash on the street receives fewer naira for each dollar than a bank customer using the official rate.
Bureau de change operators and informal dealers continued to set their own margins, so actual quotes on the ground could differ by a few naira depending on location, volume and the time of day.
Market watchers pointed to oil-related inflows, CBN interventions and day-to-day demand as the main forces that will decide whether the naira holds this range or slips further in the coming week. Anyone exchanging money was advised to confirm the live quote with a trusted dealer, because parallel-market prices can move quickly and are not guaranteed by the central bank.
