Nigeria’s inflation has reversed its downward trajectory as the new data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that headline inflation rose to 32.70 per cent, a 0.55 point increase in September 2024. That is higher than the 32.15 per cent recorded in the previous month.

Food inflation rate in September 2024 was 37.77 per cent on a year-on-year basis, 7.13 per cent points higher than the rate recorded in September 2023 (30.64 per cent).

Recent government’s unpopular policies, including removal of gasoline subsidy and floating of the local currency, have resulted in high commodity prices. A litre of petrol product now sells for between N1,030 and N1,300.

The statistics bureau attributed the rise in food inflation to increases in prices of guinea corn, rice, maize grains, beans, bread and tubers of yam.

On a month-on-month basis, the food inflation rate in September 2024 was 2.64 per cent, which showed a 0.27 per cent increase compared to the rate recorded in August 2024 (2.37 per cent).
