Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 6th February 2026

The Nigerian Naira remained relatively stable against the US Dollar in the parallel (black) market today, with the popular Aboki Forex reference rate holding steady at around ₦1,450 per dollar for selling.

According to updates from leading black market trackers like Aboki Forex and other Bureau De Change (BDC) sources in major cities, including Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano, the dollar is currently trading at:

• Selling Rate: ₦1,450 (what buyers pay to get dollars)
• Buying Rate: Approximately ₦1,430–₦1,440 (what sellers receive when exchanging dollars for naira)

This represents little to no change from yesterday’s levels, maintaining the narrow trading band observed in recent days. The parallel market premium over the official rate continues to be modest compared to previous periods of higher volatility.

For context, the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) rate, as reported by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and market sources, stood at approximately ₦1,366–₦1,367 per dollar today.

This leaves a gap of roughly ₦83–₦84 between the official and parallel markets, reflecting ongoing but contained demand pressures in the informal segment.

Market analysts attribute the stability to improved foreign exchange liquidity, sustained CBN interventions, and reduced speculative activity in early February. Traders in Lagos’ key FX hubs (such as Ikeja and the Island) noted calm trading conditions, with limited fluctuations in dollar supply.

Key Highlights:

• Parallel Market Range: ₦1,445 – ₦1,460 (varying slightly by location and dealer)
• No significant appreciation or depreciation recorded today
• The naira has shown resilience in recent weeks, with the black market rate hovering in the ₦1,440–₦1,465 zone since late January

Note: Black market rates can vary by location, time of day, and transaction size. These figures are aggregated from reliable sources like Aboki Forex, NgnRates, and Vanguard reports as of early February 6, 2026.
