Cooking gas price jumps to N1,500/kg
As Nigerians struggle with the high cost of petrol, the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, also known as cooking gas, has also increased to N1,500/kg.
But the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NIPCO Plc, Suresh Kumar, said the Dangote refinery and other domestic refineries would bring down the price of cooking gas, expressing concerns that over 60 per cent of cooking gas consumed in Nigeria is being imported.
Checks by our correspondent confirmed that the prices of cooking gas peaked at N1,500/kg in some retail outlets in Ogun and Lagos States as of Sunday.
In Abuja, the average price for refilling a 12.5kg cylinder of cooking gas has increased by 41.6 per cent to N17,000 in different areas.
The PUNCH reports that the same commodity sold for N12,000 in July and N11,735 in January 2024.
This sharp price rise reflects ongoing trends in the market and may have implications for consumers, many of whom rely on LPG for their daily cooking needs.
In August, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, promised to ensure a reduction in the rising cost of a kilogram of cooking gas.
Ekpo noted that he would invite the regulators and the gas producers to find ways to bring down the cost.
However, a new market survey conducted by our correspondent on Sunday revealed that the price has not decreased; instead, it has risen even further.
An analysis showed that the product currently sells for N17,000 in Lokogoma area of the FCT, an increase of 41.6 per cent from N12,000 vendors sold to customers three months ago. This means one kilogram of gas was sold for N1,400.
In Kubwa, the product was sold between N16,200 and N16,500 from N12,000 previously charged. But in the outskirt area of Bwari, Kurudu and Jikwoyi, the product sold for N1,300.
Some major distributors still sell the product between N1,300 and N1,400 depending on the location.

Hardship: Revolution That Will Consume Tinubu Govt Will Start From North – Farotimi
Human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi has revealed where the revolution against hunger in the country will begin.
He said that the current Nigerian system is not sustainable and that the revolution and problem that will destroy President Bola Tinubu’s government will come from the Northern region of the country.
He spoke in a recent interview. Farotimi said that revolution against the suffering created by President Tinubu’s government will not start in Eastern Nigeria.
According to him, an average Igbo person has learnt not to depend on the government so it is easier for them to survive on their own.
He said, “Long ago, I predicted that the Nigerian revolution would start in Northern Nigeria. The only reason I said so at the time is because the North had always been the reason we could not find a common purpose to fight the evil.
“But now that the person in power in the presidency is not a northerner, and he is at best, a nominal Muslim, and the suffering has now been fully democratised, the Northern streets, not Northern elites, has no interest in forbearing and continuing to suffer.
“Why is it that all of a sudden, everything they tolerated in all the years of Muhammadu Buhari is no longer tolerable?”
“I don’t know how long it is going to take but if this mess continues, the problem that will consume this government will start in Northern Nigeria. It is not going to start in the East. It might seem like nothing is going to happen but something will definitely happen. This system is not sustainable,” he said.
Justifying his point in detail, the activist said, “You will rarely find an Igbo man applying to civil service or looking for a salary job. The average ones, even the ones that went to the university, still attach themselves with somebody in the market and learn a trade.
“They learnt to do without the government. They learnt to discount the govern
