Depot owners and major oil marketers have released fresh prices for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), commonly known as cooking gas, across Nigeria, with rates varying by location and supplier.
Market checks by Legit.ng on Thursday, February 12, 2026, show that leading marketers, including Dangote Refinery and other major players, have adjusted their depot prices in response to market dynamics.
1KG = 802.5
3KG = 2,407.5
6KG = 4,815
12.5KG = 10,031.25
In Lagos, 11Plc quoted N802.5 per kilogramme, while NIPCO announced N800 per kilogramme.
Techno Oil set its rate slightly higher at N805 per kilogramme. These rates directly influence retail prices paid by households for common cylinder sizes such as 3kg, 6kg and 12.5kg.
The new pricing structure reflects ongoing adjustments in the downstream petroleum sector as operators respond to currency movements and supply conditions.
Industry analysts attribute the recent changes partly to the improved performance of the naira at the official foreign exchange window.
Data from the Central Bank of Nigeria shows the local currency has maintained relative stability in recent weeks.
On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, the naira traded at N1,350 per dollar, strengthening slightly from the previous day.
Experts note that Nigeria still imports a portion of its LPG requirements. As a result, exchange rate stability plays a key role in determining landing costs and depot pricing.
With reduced volatility in the FX market, marketers have been able to moderate price swings.
Fresh figures from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) indicate that Nigeria consumed about 52,800 metric tonnes of LPG in 2025.
Of that volume, domestic producers supplied roughly 45,800 metric tonnes, while imports accounted for about 7,100 metric tonnes, representing approximately 13 per cent of total consumption.
This means local production met about 87 per cent of national demand.
The data highlights Nigeria’s growing self-sufficiency in cooking gas, driven by expanded local production capacity and investments in infrastructure.
Techno Oil, for instance, recently unveiled an LPG cylinder manufacturing plant aimed at lowering costs and improving product quality.
