Cooking Gas Scarcity Grips Nigerian Cities, Prices Surge Amid Supply Disruption
Major Nigerian cities, including Lagos, Ogun, Ibadan, and Abuja, are experiencing a scarcity of cooking gas, leading to a sharp increase in prices. The shortage is a result of a dispute at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which disrupted the supply chain nationwide.
Consumers are facing record prices for refilling gas cylinders, with costs jumping to ₦3,500 per kg in some areas. The scarcity has left retailers rationing their stock, causing outlets to run dry and residents to struggle to find affordable gas.
The situation has worsened over the weekend, with many consumers paying exorbitant prices for cooking gas due to the limited availability and high demand.
