Housing & Living Expenses

Living expenses in Nigeria are extremely cheap with a meal at a restaurant costing between NGN 1500-7200 ($9.20-$44 or £5.50-£26), a litre of water costing around NGN 260 ($1.60 or £0.95), a litre of milk costs about NGN 390 ($2.40 or £1.40), 500g of bread costing around NGN 230 ($1.40 or £0.84) and 12 eggs costing about NGN 390 ($2.40 or £1.40).

Meanwhile luxuries are comparable with a litre of beer costing around NGN 540 ($3.30 or £2), a bottle of mid-range wine costing around NGN 1200 ($7.40 or £4.40) and a packet of cigarettes costing around NGN 250 ($1.50 or £0.92).

Monthly Rent is also very similar, as a 3 bedroom apartment in the City Centre will cost you around NGN 260,000 ($1600 or £950) whilst outside it’ll only be about NGN 98,000 ($600 or £360). A 1 bedroom apartment however will cost you NGN 96,000 ($590 or £350) in the City Centre and NGN 42,000 ($260 or £150) outside that location.
