Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 14th October 2026

Home » Business News » Aboki Naira to Dollar Black Market Exchange Rate Today, 14th October 2026

Street dealers in the Aboki market quoted the US dollar at about ₦1,365 to ₦1,370 when buying cash from customers and ₦1,375 to ₦1,377 when selling on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, across Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt.

A person handing over $100 would therefore receive roughly ₦136,500–₦137,000, while someone needing the same amount of dollars would pay close to ₦137,500–₦137,700. The official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate last published by the Central Bank of Nigeria sat near ₦1,332.47 per dollar, leaving a street premium of roughly ₦43 to ₦45, or a little over 3 percent.

Wednesday quotes largely held the tighter band seen on Tuesday rather than moving back toward the higher selling levels near ₦1,390 recorded earlier in the month, and demand from importers, travelers and students stayed orderly. External reserves were last reported near $54.9 billion, with oil receipts still supporting official liquidity.

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.
