Nigeria's inflationary pressures show no sign of abating, as the country's Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 15.15% in December 2025. This marks an increase from the 14.45% reported in November, underscoring persistent inflationary challenges. The data, updated on January 15, 2026, indicates a significant acceleration on a year-over-year basis.

The Nigerian economy has been grappling with rising consumer prices, which have been climbing steadily over recent months. December's CPI figures reveal that inflationary pressures are increasingly affecting households across the country, necessitating economic policy adjustments.

As stakeholders and policymakers assess these developments, the continuous upward trend in Nigeria's CPI may prompt further monetary and fiscal interventions to curb inflation and stabilize the economy. The rising rate underscores the need for vigilant economic management to protect consumer purchasing power and support economic growth.
