Our composite household basket was ₦327,360 compared to ₦326,660 for the period ended September 15, 2018. This is the second highest basket price we have recorded, since the week ended July 14, 2018. Data from the survey reveals a general price increase of about 0.21% from the last period.

Nairametrics’ Household Food Index tracks prices from Daleko, Iddo, Ago Ishaga, Oju Iwoye, Idi Oro and Aguda markets.

    Good morning. Am a first timer. I enjoyed your analysis on the weekend 29 September 2018. However, is the word “Spike” appropriate to describe the 0.21% increase? Reading the full analysis gave me a different view the headline. Good job. Pls keep it up. I also follow you Smooth FM radio. Bosun
