-
Image
By Desmond Nigeria’s inflation rate has dropped to 14.63 per cent in September 2026, offering a potential economic boost to the country as millions of citizens continue to struggle with the rising cost of food, transportation and other essential goods. The latest figures were released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in its Consumer Price Index report published on Thursday, October 15, 2026. According to the report, headline inflation declined from 15.39 per cent in August to 14.63 per cent in September, representing a reduction of 0.76 percentage points.

Image
By Desmond The Federal Government has reopened the First Niger Bridge, which connects Onitsha in Anambra State to Asaba in Delta State, following approximately 38 days of closure for emergency repairs and rehabilitation. The reopening, announced on Thursday, October 15, 2026, is expected to ease transportation difficulties for motorists, commuters and businesses that depend on the bridge for daily activities and the movement of goods across the South-East and South-South regions. The bridge was reportedly closed on September 7, 2026, after the discovery of vandalised structural components, including bolts, nuts and parts of the expansion joints. The closure was necessary to allow engineers to carry out repairs and address concerns about the condition of the bridge. The rehabilitation was initially expected to last about two weeks.
