Cooking Gas Prices Soar in Nigerian Cities Amid Supply Disruptions

The article reports a spike in cooking gas prices in Lagos, Abuja, Ogun, and other cities, with retail prices surging to N1,300-N2,000 per kilogram. The increase is attributed to supply disruptions and unresolved bottlenecks in the LPG distribution chain.

Residents in various cities are experiencing high prices, with different rates reported across locations. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) strike and ongoing maintenance at Nigeria LNG facilities are cited as factors contributing to the price hike.

Efforts are being made to improve supply and stabilize prices in the near future.
