Nigeria Inflation eases slightly to 15.06% in February

Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined slightly to 15.06 per cent in February 2026, indicating a gradual easing of price pressures across the country.

Data released on Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed a marginal decrease of 0.04 percentage points from the 15.10 per cent recorded in January.

Although the reduction is minimal, it suggests a continuing trend of moderation that policymakers at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are likely to monitor closely as they attempt to guide the economy towards greater price stability.
