Cooking Gas Prices Surge as Supply Shortage Worsens

Residents in Lagos and Ogun States face higher cooking gas costs as supply tightens. Liquefied petroleum gas marketers report paying up to N30 million for a 20-tonne shipment. The average kilogram price now ranges between N1,800 and N2,000 in key cities. Shoppers recount paying N1,500 to N1,800 per kilogram in Ibadan and Akure. Industry insiders say production glitches at a major refinery have reduced its LPG output. This drop has left importers struggling to meet domestic demand.
