Today's Dollar to Naira Exchange Rate: Black Market and CBN Rates for March 26, 2026

If you are looking to swap your foreign currency today, understanding the Dollar to Naira exchange rate is essential. 

As of Wednesday evening, March 25th, and moving into Thursday, March 26th, Lagos Parallel Market players—often referred to as the black market or Aboki fx—are maintaining a specific price range.

Currently, Bureau De Change (BDC) sources indicate that you can sell a dollar for approximately ₦1410, while the buying rate stands at ₦1398. 

These figures are crucial for individuals and businesses who rely on the informal sector for quick liquidity, though it is important to remember that these prices fluctuate throughout the day based on demand.

For those preferring official channels, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) provides a different set of figures. 

The official window shows a highest rate of ₦1391 and a lowest rate of ₦1376. 

It is vital to note that the CBN does not officially recognize the parallel market and encourages all citizens to process their Forex transactions through commercial banks. 

Because the Aboki dollar rate can vary significantly between different traders and locations, the numbers captured here should be used as a general guide rather than a fixed global price.
