The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has announced that Nigeria’s inflation rate declined to 18.02% in September 2025, down from 20.12% recorded in August 2025.
The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the bureau on Wednesday indicates a 2.1% decrease in the headline inflation rate, signaling a slight easing in price pressures across key sectors of the economy.
According to the NBS, the decline was driven by slower increases in the prices of food, transport, and energy, as well as improved agricultural supply following the harvest season.
