Cooking Gas Price Falls 17.4% to N11,875 — Bayonle

The average cost of refilling a 12.5kg cylinder of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly called cooking gas, dropped by 17.4 percent month-on-month (MoM), falling from N14,375 in July 2025 to N11,875 in August 2025.

On a year-on-year (YoY) comparison, the average retail price also declined by 16.7 percent from N14,261.57 recorded in August 2024.

Checks by Bayonle revealed that 1kg of cooking gas is currently sold at between N950 and N1,020, depending on the location.

However, a separate report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) — Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Cooking Gas) Price Watch for July 2025 — showed a different trend. According to the NBS, the average retail price of refilling a 12.5kg cylinder fell by only 1.91 percent on a month-on-month basis, from N21,010.56 in June 2025 to N20,609.48 in July 2025.

The report also highlighted variations across states. Adamawa recorded the highest average retail price at N22,528.39, followed closely by Rivers (N22,512.49) and Taraba (N22,363.57). Conversely, Yobe State had the lowest average at N19,030.00, with Niger (N19,154.99) and Nasarawa (N20,000.62) also among the least expensive.
