The NBS revealed in its CPI report for January published on Tuesday that the rate represented an increase of 18.12 per cent compared to the 29.9 per cent recorded in January 2024.

The statistician-general of the federation and chief executive officer (CEO) of NBS, Adeyemi Adeniran, had announced plans to rebase the GDP and CPI to reflect current realities and account for structural changes in the economy in October 2024.

On January 9, the NBS said 2019 was picked as the rebase year because “other sector-specific administrative data for this period were collected.”

It added that rebased data would be released before the month ends.

In its latest CPI report, Adeniran said: “The all-items index which is used to measure headline inflation for January 2025 was 110.7, resulting in a headline inflation rate of 24.48% on a year-on-year basis.”
