Dollar to Naira Exchange Rate Today, September 15, 2026

On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Nigerian naira opened with an official exchange rate of approximately ₦1,326.30 per dollar at the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM).

In contrast, the parallel market quoted the US dollar at rates ranging from ₦1,385 to ₦1,410.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently published data indicating that the NFEM rate was ₦1,326.3014 per dollar as of Monday, September 14.

This official rate is calculated based on the volume-weighted average of transactions occurring in the official market.

At the parallel market, current market trackers put the dollar at about ₦1,385 per dollar on the buying side and ₦1,410 on the selling side on Tuesday. Rates can vary between dealers, locations and transaction sizes.

The parallel-market selling rate of ₦1,410 represents a premium of about ₦83.70 over the latest official NFEM rate of ₦1,326.30.

This means Nigerians buying $100 at the parallel-market selling rate would need about ₦141,000, while $1,000 would cost approximately ₦1.41 million.

The naira has maintained relative stability at the official window in recent trading sessions, with the CBN’s latest data showing the currency at ₦1,326.30/$ on September 14.

Meanwhile, the gap between the official and parallel markets continues to reflect differences in dollar supply, demand and access across the two segments of the foreign exchange market.

Exchange rates remain subject to changes during the day as market conditions, dollar liquidity and demand fluctuate.

For September 15, the latest available rates therefore put the dollar at approximately ₦1,326.30/$ at NFEM and between ₦1,385 and ₦1,410/$ in the parallel market.
