Nigeria’s headline inflation rate has fallen to 18.02% for the month of September 2025.
The latest figure was officially published by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in its Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released on Wednesday.
This decline marks a continued slowdown from recent months and is likely to be welcomed by both policymakers and citizens as a sign that the government’s economic measures may be having a positive effect. A lower inflation rate can ease the cost-of-living crisis and reduce pressure on household budgets.
The NBS report provides the official data, which is closely watched by investors and analysts. Further details, including breakdowns for food and core inflation, are expected shortly.
