Nigeria’s Inflation Hits 18.3% In October by dipoolowoo: 2:38pm On Nov 14, 2016
By Modupe Gbadeyanka

A new report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has disclosed that Nigeria’s annual inflation as at October 2016 was now 18.3 percent.

In the report posted on the agency’s website on Monday, it was disclosed that the figure rose from 17.1 percent it was in September 2016.

The reason for this, Business Post gathered, was because of the higher prices for electricity, clothing and food in the country.

The 18.3 percent inflation rate is Nigeria’s highest in more than 11 years and the ninth straight monthly rise.

The agency explained that, “During the month, the highest increases were seen in housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels.”

A business analyst in Lagos, Mr Olalekan Adesanya, told Business Post that the latest report shows another sign of the crisis in Africa’s biggest economy.

Nigeria has been struggling with her economy since the inception of the present administration in 2015.

Prices of commodities in the country have skyrocketed, and in some cases, by over 200 percent.

Last week, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Mr Udoma Udo Udoma, revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari would unveil the government’s economic recovery plan next month.

Inflation increasing, price of everything increasing, standard of living increasing. If something is not done. The consequences will be lifespan decreasing.

shocked This is a double digit inflation yet the "change" government is never worried about that as their major preoccupation is a Phantom & lopsided anti-corruption fight. Meanwhile their herded supporters have also lost their voices in recent times as biting hardship is now resetting their brain.Keep standing with the dullard till you quench.Sai Baba!

Just like in 1984 it is happening again when will people realise Buhari is a terrible mistake, how can we explain to our children that we allowed a man with no intellectual ability rule us, let nigerians brace cos it will still get worse as long as Buhari is in power, *in elrufai voice before change happened Buhari is a stone age economist.
