The price drop comes at a time when many Nigerians are grappling with the rising cost of living and is expected to bring some relief to households nationwide.

1kg – ₦1,000
3kg – ₦3,000
5kg – ₦5,000
10kg – ₦10,000
12kg – ₦12,000
12.5kg – ₦12,500
Factors Behind The Price Drop
Improved Supply Chain: Recent enhancements in domestic LPG distribution have eased transportation challenges, allowing for smoother delivery to both urban and rural areas.
Boost In Local Production: Increased local gas output, driven by efforts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), has reduced reliance on imported LPG and lowered costs.
Stable Exchange Rate: The relative stability of the naira in recent weeks has helped moderate the cost of LPG imports for suppliers still sourcing from abroad.
Government Policy Support: The suspension of certain levies and import duties on gas-related products has reduced operating costs for distributors.
Rising Market Competition: An increase in private gas retailers has intensified competition, prompting sellers to lower prices in order to attract customers.

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Recounts Terrifying Encounter With Men Who Tried To Assault her.
Veteran Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has opened up about a frightening experience she had at just 15 years old when she went to a rough part of Mushin, Lagos State, in search of money to pay her brother’s school fees.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on The Afropolitan Show, Omotola recounted that a colleague in the film industry had taken her to meet men in the area known for lending money. She described having to navigate a dangerous environment before reaching the location where the men were waiting.
The actress said the men were notorious in the neighborhood for being dangerous and dealing with loans. Upon arrival, she pleaded with them for financial help to cover her brother’s school fees, a situation that left her terrified due to her young age and the men’s intimidating reputation. Omotola admitted that the encounter could have ended badly but felt she was protected.
She recalled: “There was a time when a colleague in the industry took me to a place in Mushin, some ghetto area. We walked through a rough part of the neighborhood. I was about 15 then. We got to this place and these bad boys were there, like in a sitting room. I begged them, explaining I needed money for my brother’s school fees. They looked at me… they could have harmed me.”
Eventually, the men agreed to lend her the money. However, she later ran into difficulties repaying the loan. The unpaid debt led to threats from the lenders, who eventually came to her home. During the visit, they took several household items, including the family television and DVD player, in an attempt to recover the money they claimed she owed.

The visit highlighted the club’s achievement and the impact of star player Lionel Messi, whose arrival in the United States has continued to capture global attention. Messi played a key role in Inter Miami’s success, marking the 48th team trophy of his career across club and international football.
During the reception, Trump praised Messi for choosing Inter Miami despite having opportunities to join any team worldwide. “You could have gone anywhere in the world, any team in the world, and you chose Miami. I just want to thank you for bringing us all on this ride,” he said.
In a notable moment, Trump compared Messi to Brazilian legend Pelé, suggesting the Argentine might even surpass him. “I watched Pele play. I don’t know, you may be better than Pele. Pele was pretty good,” he remarked.
Trump described hosting Messi as a historic and “distinct privilege,” noting that no US president had previously welcomed the football superstar in such a capacity.
The White House visit follows a similar reception for Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, who was hosted by Trump in November 2025.

‘Please Bring Out Your Billboards, Don’t Bother About PDP Crisis’ – Makinde Tells Oyo Guber Aspirants.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has called on gubernatorial aspirants to go ahead with their campaigns and put up billboards, urging them to disregard the ongoing crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The PDP has been in turmoil since the 2023 elections, with key members defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and losing nearly all its governors and lawmakers, including Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri.
Recently, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released the final list of candidates for the August 8, 2026, Osun State governorship election, with the PDP and Labour Party absent—likely due to internal disputes.
Speaking to party supporters in Ibadan on Thursday, Makinde assured aspirants they could display PDP logos on their campaign billboards despite the party’s leadership challenges.
He said, “Today, I have freed everyone. Anyone who wants to contest for Oyo State Governor in 2027, please bring out your billboards. Don’t be bothered about the PDP crisis. Go ahead and put the PDP logo on your billboards.”
