Nigerian Government Acts to Curb Cooking Gas Price Hike

The Nigerian government, led by Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Ekperikpo Ekpo, has initiated actions to combat the recent spike in cooking gas prices, which have surged by 80% in the last two weeks. The move includes clamping down on market retailers and hoarders exploiting consumers.

Despite the suspension of the PENGASSAN strike, cooking gas prices remain high due to supply shortages. The government assures Nigerians of its commitment to ensuring adequate and affordable gas supply for households nationwide.
