Cooking Gas Prices Drop to ₦1,100–₦1,650/kg, Offering Relief Nationwide

Nigerians are enjoying relief as cooking gas prices have fallen back to between ₦1,100 and ₦1,650 per kilogram across major cities. In April, gas sold for ₦900–₦1,000/kg before soaring above ₦2,000/kg by June. Now Abuja, Port Harcourt, Benin, Warri, Onitsha and Enugu prices range from ₦1,250 to ₦1,500/kg. Kano and Kaduna trade at ₦1,300–₦1,550/kg, while Maiduguri still sees up to ₦1,650/kg. Industry leaders say the drop reflects improved supply, lower depot rates, reduced hoarding after government interventions and sharper competition among marketers. Consumers report they can return to cooking gas after weeks of using charcoal. Authorities have also ordered security agencies and regulators to crack down on illegal diversion and boost transparency in distribution.
