In July 2026, Nigeria's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported that the country's headline inflation rate decreased to 15.43%, marking a 0.48 percentage-point drop from the 15.91% recorded in June. However, the cost of living varied significantly across different states within the nation. Adamawa had the highest inflation rate at 33.0%, while Bauchi and Akwa Ibom followed closely with 17.7% and 19.9% respectively.
Yobe was second with 25.2%, and Anambra, Delta, and Abia rounded out the top five with inflation rates of 24.0%, 22.6%, and 20.9% respectively. Despite the national moderation, these figures highlight a wide disparity in the cost of living across the country, with some states experiencing inflation rates more than double the national average.
