Cooking gas update in Nigeria after Dangote, depot owners reduce LPG prices

Liquefied petroleum gas, LPG, popularly known as cooking gas, is expected to become cheaper across Nigeria after Dangote Refinery, marketers and depot owners reviewed their prices downward.

A market survey by DAILY POST showed that Dangote Refinery reduced its LPG gantry price by N30 to N950 per kilogram.

In a swift market reaction to Dangote Refinery’s LPG price cut, depot owners and marketers also reduced their prices.

11PLC, formerly Mobil, NAVGAS, Ranoil and PPMC reduced their ex-depot cooking gas prices to between N955 and N960 per kg.

The price reduction by the depot owners ranged from N15 to N30 per kg.

DAILY POST reports that the retail price of cooking gas at filling stations operated by Ranoil, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC and Shafa stood between N1,300 and N1,450 per kg.

Meanwhile, other LPG retailers in Abuja and its environs sell cooking gas at N1,500 per kg, the same rate recorded in July 2026.

Recall that cooking gas imports surged by 1,400 percent in June, according to data from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
