Dealers Announce New Price for Cooking Gas Nationwide

Cooking gas dealers across Nigeria have announced new retail prices for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), citing rising operational costs, transportation expenses, and fluctuations in market supply. The adjustment is expected to affect households and small businesses that depend on cooking gas as their primary source of energy.

Industry operators disclosed that the price increase varies across states, with consumers in some urban centers already paying significantly more for refilling gas cylinders. Dealers attributed the development to higher logistics costs, exchange rate pressures, and challenges in product distribution despite efforts to boost domestic gas supply.

The latest adjustment comes amid concerns from consumers who have faced recurring increases in energy costs over the past year. Many households fear the new prices could further strain family budgets and push some users back to alternative cooking fuels such as firewood and charcoal.

Stakeholders in the LPG sector have called for stronger government interventions to stabilize prices, improve distribution infrastructure, and encourage greater investment in domestic gas production. They maintain that sustained support for the industry would help make cooking gas more affordable and accessible nationwide.

Economic analysts warn that continued increases in cooking gas prices could contribute to inflationary pressures, especially in the food and hospitality sectors where energy costs play a critical role.
