Inflation increases to 9.2%, Fuel Crisis takes toll on Food Prices......

Nigeria’s inflation advanced 0.2 percentage points to 9.2 percent in June, the highest level in over 24 months, as irregularity in fuel supply across the country continued to weigh on local consumer prices, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

The NBS in a new report said fuel sold at N112.13 per litre on the average across the country in June, much higher than the N87 official price.

The Nigerian government last year cut fuel pump price to N87 per litre to reflect reduced landing costs of petroleum products, but figures from the NBS show that none of the 36 states, including the Federal Capital Territory sells the product at that rate.

 

In June, average pump price of fuel was costliest in Bayelsa at N155 per litre, followed by Niger at N138.33 and then Kogi at N128.33. The product sold the cheapest in Zamfara at N93, followed by Edo at N94.45. In Lagos, the nation’s commercial centre, fuel sold N102.63 per litre last month.
