These increases were witnessed in food & non-alcoholic beverages (12.47 per cent), housing, water, electricity, gas & other fuel (4.03 per cent). Nigeria removed the subsidy on gasoline in May this year, causing a spike in the prices of petroleum products, with a spiral effect on the prices of other commodities.

The rise in the food index on a year-on-year basis was caused by increases in prices of oil and fat, bread and cereals, fish, potatoes, yam and other tubers, fruits, meat, vegetables, milk, cheese, and eggs.
