The statistics also showed that on a month-on-month basis, the headline inflation rate for November 2023 was 2.09%, which was 0.35% higher than the rate recorded in October.

For many Nigerians, the cost of food remains a significant expense., as basics like bread and yam have become more expensive. The overall food inflation rate for November was 32.84%.

For the eleventh time this month, Nigeria’s inflation rate has increased, increasing pressure on the central bank to host a rate rise meeting.
