The NBS revealed this in its CoHD report for September 2024 released on Monday in Abuja.
The bureau said that the CoHD in September increased by 7.3 per cent compared to the N1,255 recorded in August.
The NBS said the CoHD was the least expensive combination of locally available items that met globally consistent food-based dietary guidelines.
It said it was used as a measure of physical and economic access to healthy diets.
