In what appears to be a continued, albeit slow, cooling of price pressures across the country, Nigeria’s headline inflation rate eased to 15.06 per cent in February of 2026.
Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Monday shows a marginal decline of 0.04 per cent from the 15.10 per cent recorded in January.
While the drop is slight, it marks a persistent trend of moderation that policymakers at the Central Bank of Nigeria will be watching closely as they struggle to steer the economy toward price stability.
