What this value means
Reference month June 2026, released ~15 July 2026. Rebased CPI, base period 2024 = 100 (COICOP). NBS site confirms All-Items 15.91% YoY, with core 15.92% and food 17.52%; the June report additionally states month-on-month headline of 1.66% (May: 1.75%) and June 2025 comparison of 25.29%. NBS eLibrary listing (nigerianstat.gov.ng/elibrary/search/cpi) had not been updated past October 2024 as of 2026-07-16, so the NBS homepage All-Items indicator is the citable location. Next release (July 2026 CPI) expected ~15 August 2026. UPDATE (roll applied 2026-08-21): Reference month July 2026, released 15 August 2026 per the NBS release calendar. Homepage also shows core 14.97% and food 20.31% YoY. Retrieval gotcha: the visible 15.43% figure is unlabeled — the month lives only in the tooltip (data-original-title="CPI (July-2026)") and an HTML comment. The eLibrary listing (nigerianstat.gov.ng/elibrary/search/cpi) still ends at October 2024 as of 2026-08-21, so the homepage All-Items indicator remains the citable location. Next release (August 2026 CPI) expected ~15 September 2026.
