Nigerian Cooking Gas Prices Remain High Despite Government Intervention

Despite the Federal Government's efforts to address the high cost of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Nigeria, prices remain at ₦1,800/kg, up from ₦1,100/kg. The spike is attributed to industry actions by PENGASSAN and maintenance at refineries like Dangote, reducing domestic supply.

Dr. Ekperikp Ekpo highlighted these factors, including the resumption of operations at NLNG. Retailers struggle with inflated prices, urging government intervention for affordability.

Expert Christian Chibuzor commended the government's clean energy agenda but warned of the impact of high costs on consumers.
