In 2025, Lagos residents face high costs when it comes to cooking gas. But not everywhere charges the same. If you're looking for the best deals, here's a helpful, researched blog post to the cheapest places, depots, gas plants to get cooking gas in the city.
Where to Find the Cheapest Cooking Gas in Lagos
According to data from LPG In Nigeria, the average price for a 12.5 kg cooking gas cylinder in March was about ₦15,085 . That works out to about ₦1,207 per kg.
Certain areas offered better prices—most notably:
> Oru Ijebu, Ogun State: ₦11,875 (₦950/kg)
> Lafenwa (Abeokuta), Ijebu Ode, Ijebu Igbo: ₦12,500 (₦1,000/kg)
Unfortunately, those low-cost areas are outside Lagos, so let’s highlight where Lagosians can still get good value:
