Gas Scarcity Persists in Nigeria Amid PENGASSAN Strike, NEPZA Criticizes Disruption

The gas scarcity in Nigeria continues as a result of the PENGASSAN strike, disrupting supply chains and leading to price fluctuations. NEPZA criticized the strike, emphasizing that it contravenes free trade zone regulations.

The strike has caused households to face a crisis in refilling cooking gas, with reports of long queues and inflated prices at gas stations. The scarcity has particularly hit areas like Lagos and Kano, where even LPG plants are struggling to meet demand, such as the closure of AA Rano's plant.

Consumers like Olu Ojeniyi and Peter Ayuba have expressed frustration over the challenges in accessing gas. Zainab Sani, a housewife, also faced difficulties in refilling gas cylinders.
