Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 9th June 2026

Currency traders in Nigeria’s informal foreign exchange segment reported the US dollar selling at approximately ₦1,400 in the black market today, with buyers offering around ₦1,390 per greenback. This reflects a largely stable outlook compared to recent sessions, where rates have hovered in the ₦1,388 to ₦1,400 range amid cautious trading activity.

Market participants noted persistent demand for dollars driven by importers seeking to meet obligations for goods and services, while supply from diaspora remittances and some exporters helped prevent sharper swings. In major hubs like Lagos, Abuja, and Kano, “Aboki” dealers quoted the pair with a modest spread, indicating balanced but watchful sentiment. The parallel market premium over the Central Bank of Nigeria’s official rate, which stood near ₦1,362, remained evident though not dramatically widened.

Analysts attribute the current steadiness to ongoing central bank interventions and improved forex liquidity in recent weeks. However, uncertainties around global oil prices and domestic economic pressures continue to influence trader behavior. Some observers expect potential volatility if upcoming monetary policy announcements introduce fresh measures on currency unification or reserve management.

For businesses and individuals relying on the parallel window, experts advise monitoring rates closely and considering verified channels to minimize risks associated with informal transactions. As Nigeria navigates its forex challenges, the black market remains a key barometer of underlying supply-demand dynamics in the economy. Rates can shift quickly based on local developments, so stakeholders are urged to cross-check with multiple sources before large exchanges.
