Nigeria’s inflation eased slightly in February, slipping to 15.06 percent from 15.1 percent in January.

The NBS said the country’s headline inflation declined by 0.04 percentage points on a month-to-month basis.
However, food inflation rose to 12.12 percent in February from 8.89 percent the previous month.
The NBS said: “February 2026, the headline inflation rate eased to 15.06 per cent, down from 15.10 per cent in January 2026.
“On a month-on-month basis, the headline inflation rate in February 2026 was 2.01%, which was 4.89% higher than the rate recorded in January 2026 (-2.88%).
“This means that in February 2026, the rate of increase in the average price level was higher than the rate of increase in the average price level in January 2026.”
