The general rise in prices of food across Nigeria that was largely triggered by the removal of fuel subsidy in May this year and disruption to the supply chain has significantly impacted the headline inflation, the nation’s statistics bureau said.

Data by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) shows that the inflation rate in November 2023 was 32.84 per cent on a year-on-year basis, which was 8.72 percent points higher compared to the rate recorded in November 2022 (24.13 per cent). 

The rise in food inflation on a year-on-year basis was caused by increases in prices of bread and cereals, oil and fat, potatoes, yam and other tubers, fish, fruit, meat, vegetables and coffee, tea and cocoa, NBS said in the data that was released yesterday.

Nigeria’s headline inflation rate increased to 28.20 percent in November relative to the October 2023 headline inflation rate which was 27.33 per cent.

The November 2023 inflation rate showed an increase of 0.87 percent points when compared to October 2023 headline inflation rate. On a year-on-year basis, the headline inflation rate was 6.73 percent points higher compared to the rate recorded in November 2022, which was 21.47 percent.
