Kerosene Prices Soar as Nigerians Struggle with Household Fuel Costs

While the average price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has slightly decreased in Abuja, the cost of kerosene remains high, impacting many Nigerian households. Recent data from the National Bureau of Statistics revealed a marginal decline in LPG prices but a continuous rise in household kerosene costs.

The disparity in pricing indicates challenges for low-income families who rely on kerosene for cooking and lighting. The data showed varying price trends across regions, with Adamawa recording the highest kerosene prices.

The situation highlights the financial burden faced by many Nigerians due to the escalating cost of essential household fuels.
