Cooking gas, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), has faced price fluctuations due to a combination of domestic and global factors, including global energy market trends, exchange rate instability, and challenges in local supply.
Throughout the year, the price of cooking gas in Nigeria has been erratic, with a noticeable uptick in costs especially as the country enters the festive season, a time of year when demand for household commodities traditionally rises.
In January, the price of a 12.5kg cylinder of cooking gas was around ₦8,000. However, as the year unfolded, prices surged, reaching between ₦12,000 and ₦15,000 in many regions by mid-year. This rise was largely driven by the devaluation of the naira, increasing international gas prices, and the country’s reliance on imports to meet local demand, despite Nigeria’s substantial natural gas reserves. Limited domestic production capacity has only intensified the pressure on supply, pushing prices further up.
As December rolled in and the holiday season approached, the price of cooking gas showed little sign of stabilizing. In major cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, the cost of a 12.5kg cylinder has ranged from ₦16,000 to ₦17,500, with some rural areas facing even higher prices due to logistical challenges in transportation.
The price breakdown for various cylinder sizes is as follows:
- 1kg Cooking Gas – ₦1,370
- 3kg Cooking Gas – ₦4,110
- 5kg Cooking Gas – ₦6,850
- 6kg Cooking Gas – ₦8,220
- 10kg Cooking Gas – ₦13,700
- 12.5kg Cooking Gas – ₦17,125
These price increases have sparked concerns among Nigerian consumers, especially as many families rely on cooking gas for their daily household needs.V!EW BEFORE THEY GOT DELETED| Baltazar FROM Equatorial Guinea TRENDS AGAIN AS OVER 50 OF HIS FRESH BEDR00M V!DEOS SVRFACES ONLINE.
