The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has reported that Nigeria’s headline inflation rate eased to 21.88% in July 2025, marking a drop from 22.22% recorded in June.

According to the NBS Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released on Friday, this represents the fourth consecutive month of disinflation in 2025, signaling a gradual slowdown in the pace of rising prices.

Analysts note that while the drop offers some relief to consumers, the rate remains high compared to historical averages, and the cost of living pressures continue to weigh heavily on households.

The NBS is expected to release more details on sector-specific inflation trends, including food and core inflation, in the coming days.
