Nigeria’s rate of inflation decreased from 15.15% in December 2025 to 15.10% in January 2026.
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Monday’s release of its most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) data served as the basis for this.
The small drop of 0.05 percentage points, the study says, indicates that after several months of reducing inflation, pricing pressures continued to slow at the beginning of the year.
Compared to the same period last year, inflation considerably decreased on a year-over-year basis. Compared to the 27.61% rate in January 2025, the January 2026 rate of 15.10% is 12.51 percentage points lower.
Details will be shared later.
