A review of data from the Global Petroleum Price portal has shown that cooking gas prices in Nigeria are higher than in several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, India, and Angola, raising fresh concerns over energy affordability.
The findings highlight the growing burden on Nigerian households despite the country’s status as a major oil and gas producer.
According to the data, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Nigeria was priced at $0.674 per kilogram as of March 16, 2026.
The figure places Nigeria among countries with relatively higher cooking gas prices globally.
In comparison, LPG costs significantly less in other countries. Saudi Arabia records $0.290 per kilogram, Russia $0.388, while Angola has one of the lowest prices at $0.109. Azerbaijan stands even lower at $0.091 per kilogram. See More In Details…
