Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 6th October 2026
Street traders in the Aboki market quoted the US dollar at about ₦1,345 to ₦1,355 when buying cash from customers and ₦1,357 to ₦1,370 when selling on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, across Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.
A person handing over $100 would therefore receive roughly ₦134,500–₦135,500, while someone needing the same amount of dollars would pay close to ₦135,700–₦137,000. The official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate published by the Central Bank of Nigeria slipped to about ₦1,332.90 per dollar, from near ₦1,332 at the previous weekend close, leaving a street premium of roughly ₦24 to ₦37, or about 2 to 3 percent.

That gap is narrower than the spread seen over the weekend, after the naira firmed on the street to around ₦1,357 from about ₦1,362. Demand from importers, travellers and students stayed orderly rather than frantic, even as official-window turnover was reported lower.
Quotes still differed a little by location, volume and the hour of the day, and operators warned that the informal rate can shift before the close of business. The gap between the official window and the parallel market has stayed comparatively tight by recent historical standards.
Yet, cash transactions outside the banking system remain the practical benchmark for many users who cannot obtain dollars at the CBN rate.
Anyone planning to change money was advised to confirm the live figure with a trusted bureau or dealer, because parallel-market prices are not fixed and can move on local supply and remittance inflows.
