This is according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) July 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released on Friday.
The report, which tracks the average change in prices of goods and services—including both food and non-food items—also highlights the states with the highest and lowest all-items inflation rates, offering insight into regional cost-of-living disparities.
NBS says.
1. Yobe 11.43%
The most affordable state to live in Nigeria is Yobe. Located in the North-East geo-political zone of Nigeria, the state recorded an annual inflation rate of 11.43%. According to NBS data, this is a reduction from 13.5% recorded in June 2025.
Also, the food inflation rate in July 2025 for Yobe state stood at 15.1%, a drop from 17.9% recorded in June.
The drop in food inflation, analysts say, is largely due to the recent massive campaign by the state government for young people to engage in agricultural activities for food sufficiency and food security.
Also, there has been some improvement in the security situation in the state in recent months.
