Cooking gas price hits N1,700 per kilogram in Nigeria

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices have fluctuated in Nigeria in recent weeks. A DAILY POST survey found prices of N1,300 to N1,500 per kilogram at AA Rano, Ranoil and MRS stations in Abuja and its environs, while some smaller retailers charged N1,600 to N1,700. Prices had fallen to N1,200 per kilogram weeks earlier; Lawal Taofeek, NIPCO spokesperson, attributed the recent volatility to global energy prices. In August 2026, prices eased after the Dangote Refinery and depot owners cut prices, while NMDPRA figures showed LPG imports rose 44% to 1.3 million metric tonnes per day.
