Cooking gas prices across Nigeria have seen significant variations in recent months.
The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reveals the ten cheapest states to purchase Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as of August 2025.
The report shows a general month-on-month (MoM) decline in prices compared to July 2025, reflecting a modest relief for households amid ongoing cost-of-living concerns.
The average retail price for refilling a 12.5kg Cooking Gas decreased by 21.42% on a month-on-month basis from N20,609.48 in July 2025 to N16,195.07 in August 2025, the NBS data shows.
On a year-on-year basis, this rose by 4.13% from N15,552.56 in August 2024.
Ogun recorded an impressive 25.22% month-on-month drop, falling from N20,332.73 in July to N15,204.43 in August.
On a yearly basis, prices were 5.51% lower than in August 2024, showing a positive trend for consumers in the state.
Apart from a recent effort by a commercial bank, which distributed a unit each of a 3kg cylinder to over 3,000 residents of the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area, there have been no recent reports showing the actions of the state government on gas prices.
