A data analytics project tracking Nigeria's food price and inflation trends using official data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), covering the rebased CPI series (Jun 2025–Jun 2026) and the legacy pre-rebase series (Jan 2023–Dec 2024) for historical context. Nigeria Food Price & Inflation Dashboard A data analytics project tracking Nigeria's food price and inflation trends using official data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) — covering the rebased CPI series (Jun 2025–Jun 2026) and the legacy pre-rebase series (Jan 2023–Dec 2024) for historical context. ## What this is Food inflation in Nigeria dropped from 25.4% in June 2025 to a low of 8.89% in January 2026, then climbed back up to 17.52% by June 2026 — nearly doubling in five months. This project cleans the underlying NBS data, visualizes the trend, and pulls out the insights behind that swing: specifically, that food inflation has flipped from running *below* headline inflation to running *above* it again, after a brief and unusual reversal. ## Data & methodology **Source:** National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria — nigerianstat.gov.ng Two series are kept deliberately separate rather than joined into one line: - **Rebased CPI (base 2024=100)** — Jun 2025–Jun 2026. NBS updated its CPI methodology in early 2025 (new basket, new weights, new base year), so figures from this series aren't comparable to pre-2025 numbers. - **Legacy CPI (base 2009=100)** — Jan 2023–Dec 2024. The prior methodology. Included for historical context (food inflation peaked at 40.87% in June 2024 under this series). A handful of months in the legacy series have no confirmed sourced figure and are left blank rather than estimated. Full notes, including a flagged NBS data revision for mid-2025, are in the workbook's Source & Notes tab. ## Key findings - Food inflation: 25.4% (Jun 2025) → 8.89% (Jan 2026) → 17.52% (Jun 2026) - Food is currently running 1.6 percentage points hotter than headline inflation - Headline and core inflation have been comparatively flat (~15-16%) since Dec 2025 — food is the volatile driver right now, not the broader economy ## How to explore it - **Full interactive version:** open `dashboard/food_inflation_dashboard.pbix` in Power BI Desktop ( …
