The NBS further reports that food inflation on state analysis was highest in Sokoto at 50.47 percent, Gombe at 44.09 percent, and Yobe 43.51 percent.
While it recorded the slowest rise on a year-on-year basis in Kwara at 32.45 percent, Rivers at 32.80 percent, and Kogi at 2.83 percent.
Experts worry that food prices will remain a critical concern due to persistent challenges in agricultural productivity, reliance on imports, and rising fuel costs.
