Nigeria’s   headline inflation rose again to 12.40 per cent (year on year) in the month of May, 2020; about 0.06 higher than the rate recorded in April, 2020 (12.34) per cent.

The rise in the food index, NBS said, was caused by increases in prices of bread and cereals, potatoes, yam and other tubers, oils and fats, fruits, fish and meat. “The average annual rate of change of the food sub-index for the 12- month period ending May 2020 over the previous 12-month average was 14.33 per cent, 0.11 points from the average annual rate of change recorded in April 2020 (14.22 per cent).
