Cooking Gas Prices Remain High: Dealers Announce New Rates Nationwide

The Nigerian cooking gas market continues to face high prices, with dealers releasing new rates despite assurances of a drop. Prices in Lagos range from 1,200 to 1,400 per kilogram, up from 950 to 1,000 just a month earlier.

Challenges like logistics issues and depot-level increases are cited for the persistently high prices. Olatunbosun Oladapo of NALPGAM expressed hope for price drops in the coming weeks, mentioning increased output from Seplat Energy and Dangote Refinery as potential factors to stabilize prices in the future.
