In contrast, Kogi, Lagos, and Rivers are the most expensive states to live in.

On a year-on-year basis, Kogi led the way with the highest all-items inflation rate at 31.50 per cent, followed closely by Lagos at 29.17 per cent and Rivers at 29.06 per cent, according to the report by The Punch newspaper.

When examined on a month-on-month basis, the trend continued, with August 2023 seeing the highest increases in Kwara at 6.07 per cent, Osun 4.36 per cent, and Kogi 4.35 per cent, while Sokoto recorded 1.38 per cent, Borno 1.73 per cent, and Ogun 1.89 per cent recorded the slowest rise in month-on-month inflation.

On the other hand, Sokoto 20.09 per cent, Nasarawa 24.35 per cent, and Jigawa 24.53 per cent recorded the slowest rise in food inflation on a year-on-year basis.

On a month-on-month basis for the same period, Rivers at 7.12 per cent, Kwara 5.89 per cent, and Kogi 5.80per cent recorded the highest increases, while Sokoto recorded 0.50 per cent, Abuja 1.30 per cent, and Niger 1.40 per cent experienced the slowest rise in food inflation.
