Cooking Gas Scarcity Grips Ogun State, Prices Surge Over 80%

Major cities in Ogun State are facing a cooking gas scarcity with prices surging over 80%. The shortage is attributed to supply interruptions from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery following protests by unionized workers.

Households are struggling to refill gas cylinders as queues form at vendors, impacting daily cooking routines. The market is experiencing an industrial crisis due to the refinery's role in the domestic LPG market.

The situation has led to frustration among consumers and dealers, highlighting the reliance on a single source for cooking gas supply.
