Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 8th February 2026

The Nigerian Naira held steady in the parallel market today, with the US Dollar trading at around ₦1,450 to ₦1,455 according to Aboki Forex and similar trackers.

Sources like Aboki Forex reported the black market rate at ₦1,450 for selling one US Dollar, while Nairatoday.com listed it at ₦1,455 sell (with buying around ₦1,445), showing no notable daily change from recent levels.

This stability follows minor variations earlier in the week, where user-reported averages on platforms such as NgnRates.com hovered near ₦1,450 for sell-side deals as of early February.

In Lagos and other major cities like Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano, Bureau de Change operators quoted similar figures, though rates can differ slightly by dealer and time of day.

For context, the official Central Bank of Nigeria rate in the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market ranged from ₦1,366 to ₦1,367 per US Dollar based on recent closing and average rates.

The premium between official and parallel rates remained modest at about ₦80–₦90, reflecting ongoing CBN interventions, better forex inflows, and efforts to stabilize the currency.

Demand for dollars in the informal sector—fueled by importers, travelers, and everyday needs—keeps black market rates elevated despite these measures.

Traders recommend checking directly with trusted local operators for the most accurate real-time quotes, as parallel market figures fluctuate quickly based on supply and location.
