Cooking Gas Prices Surge by 44.5% in Nigeria, Household Expenses Soar
The National Bureau of Statistics reported a 44.5% increase in cooking gas prices over a year in Nigeria. The cost of refilling a 12.5 kg cylinder rose significantly, impacting households already struggling with energy expenses.
The Federal Government's decision to halt gas exports aimed to stabilize local prices, but the yearly surge remains a concern. Despite a slight price drop in July 2025, experts warn of potential future increases.
The NBS data revealed regional variations in gas prices, with Adamawa having the highest average cost. The price fluctuations reflect challenges in energy affordability and access across different Nigerian states.
