Abuja – Nigeria’s consumer price inflation rose in March amid soaring food prices, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said in its report Friday.

The consumer price index (CPI), which measures inflation, increased to 15.92 percent in March from 15.70 per cent recorded in February. It is the highest rate in five months.

The increase was recorded against the backdrop of increase in prices of gas, bread, cereals, liquid fuel and other food products.

In recent weeks, Nigeria suffered incessant grid collapse which disrupted electricity supply and forced many businesses and households to spend more on alternative energy sources.

In the same vein, widespread insecurity especially in northern Nigeria has continued to threaten Nigeria’s food production and supply chains amid increase in global food prices due to Ukraine war disruptions.
