Nigeria\u2019s consumer price index has shown a decrease in inflation rate from 17.38 per cent in August to 17.01 per cent in August of 2021 on year-on-year basis, according to a monthly report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).<\/p>\n

That is 0.37 per cent points lower than the rate recorded in July 2021 (17.38) per cent, the figure that was released this Wednesday showed.<\/p>\n

Even though rates had declined since April 2021, on the spot survey of prices of commodities across Nigerian markets indicate that prices continue to skyrocket.<\/p>\n

But the latest NBS<\/a> report said increases were recorded in all COICOP divisions that yielded the Headline index.<\/p>\n

On month-on-month basis, the Headline index increased by 1.02 per cent in August 2021, this is 0.09 per cent rate higher than the rate recorded in July 2021 (0.93) percent.<\/p>\n

The percentage change in the average composite CPI for the twelve months period ending August 2021 over the average of the price index for the previous twelve months period was 16.60 percent, showing 0.30 percent point from 16.30 percent recorded in July 2021.<\/p>\n

Many analysts warn that government must intensify efforts at clearing the issue of insecurity that is seriously threatening food security in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Apart from Boko Haram insurgency, Nigeria is also faced with the issue of violent banditary that has forced many farmers into internally displaced persons camps, causing a shortage to the food supply chain.<\/p>\n
