Prices of cooking gas

The cost of cooking gas in Nigeria has become a growing concern for many households as prices continue to climb. By mid-January 2025, refilling a 12.5kg cylinder of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) now costs around ₦17,000, a significant jump from ₦12,000 in July 2024. 



What’s Driving the Price Hike? 

1. Impact of Global Oil Markets: Nigeria depends on imported LPG, so changes in international crude oil prices directly affect local gas prices. 

2. Currency Challenges: A weaker Naira has made importing cooking gas more expensive, pushing up costs for consumers. 

3. Increased Festive Demand: Seasonal celebrations usually lead to higher demand for cooking gas, which puts extra pressure on prices, particularly in cities. 

Current Cooking Gas Prices 

– 1kg: ₦1,300 

– 3kg: ₦3,900 

– 5kg: ₦6,500 

– 6kg: ₦7,800 

– 10kg: ₦13,000 

– 12.5kg: ₦16,250 

For families that rely on LPG daily, these rising costs are straining budgets and sparking concern about long-term affordability.
