Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 7th February 2026

The Nigerian Naira held steady in the parallel market this morning as economic measures and stronger foreign reserves continued to support the currency.

Reliable trackers of the Aboki (black market) rate show 1 US Dollar exchanging at approximately ₦1,450 to ₦1,455 in Lagos and major cities today. Sellers are receiving around ₦1,445 when offloading dollars, while buyers pay between ₦1,450 and ₦1,455 depending on the dealer and location.

The rate has shown only minor movement from yesterday, remaining in a tight band between ₦1,450 and ₦1,460 over the past few sessions. For comparison, the official Central Bank of Nigeria window closed the week near ₦1,366 to ₦1,371 per dollar, keeping the gap between official and parallel markets narrower than in previous months.

Nigeria’s external reserves stand at roughly $46.91 billion, helping dampen volatility in informal forex trading. The parallel market, widely known as the Aboki rate, continues to serve as the main reference point for remittances, small imports, and everyday dollar needs outside official channels.

Rates can still differ slightly from one Bureau De Change operator to another or across cities such as Abuja and Kano, and they remain sensitive to intraday supply and demand shifts.

Market watchers point to sustained Central Bank policies, improved oil earnings, and growing investor confidence as key factors behind the current stability. Participants are reminded to exercise caution with black-market dealings due to their informal nature and potential risks.
