How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Nigeria (0.12844111930897265, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 1518.38094813368 NGN to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
In Ibadan, the budget tier of $15 a day mostly covers a simple room, street food, and local transport, while the mid-range tier of $30 a day allows for a more comfortable room and restaurant meals. The luxury tier of $65 a day supports higher-end lodging and additional services such as private transport. Over a week, these daily differences add up to $105, $210, and $455.
Prices tend to drop further during the off-season months of February, March, and June, when demand is lower and travelers may find better rates on lodging. All figures given here, including the daily and weekly cost tiers and the individual item estimates, are approximations meant to guide trip planning rather than fixed prices.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Feb, Mar and Jun.
