The cost of refilling cooking gas cylinders has become a pressing issue for many Nigerians, with the price per kilogram varying widely across the country.
As of today, the average price of 1kg of cooking gas hovers around ₦1500, but the exact amount depends on the location and the size of the gas cylinder.
The 12.5kg cylinder, a common household size, tends to cost more to refill than smaller options like the 12kg, 6kg, 5kg, and 3kg cylinders. Among the highest refill costs is the 50kg cylinder, widely used by large households and commercial establishments.
Consumers have also noted a difference in how long cooking gas lasts, as usage duration for 1kg of gas varies based on several factors.
The intensity of the flame is another key factor, as higher flames deplete gas more quickly. Cooking frequency and duration also play a role, with frequent, lengthy cooking sessions resulting in faster gas depletion.
Despite the high cost, many Nigerians have no alternative but to continue using cooking gas, especially in urban areas where other options may be less accessible.
The fluctuating prices and varying refill costs highlight the impact of Nigeria’s economic environment on essential household items, leaving consumers hoping for relief in the form of price stabilization.
