The National Average Cost of a Healthy Diet (CoHD) per adult a day stood at N1,513 as at February, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has said.

The NBS revealed this in its CoHD report for February 2026 released in Abuja.

The bureau said the CoHD in February increased by 3.76 per cent compared to the N1,458 recorded in January 2026.

The NBS said the CoHD was the least expensive combination of locally available items that met globally consistent food-based dietary guidelines.

It said it was used as a measure of physical and economic access to healthy diets.
