Cooking Gas Nightmare: Prices Stay Sky-High Despite Government Promises!.
Two weeks after the Federal Government’s emergency intervention, marketers report that cooking gas prices remain persistently high despite improved product supply. While an Abuja stakeholders’ meeting on June 22, convened by Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas) Ekperikpe Ekpo, successfully calmed market panic and boosted daily supply from approximately 4,262 metric tonnes in May to over 5,000 metric tonnes in June, retail prices have failed to see a significant reduction. Across the country, consumers continue to pay between ₦1,300 and ₦1,650 per kilogramme, with prices remaining elevated due to structural issues including high foreign exchange costs, expensive transportation, and insufficient domestic production. Edu Inyang, National President of the Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, characterized the meeting as a successful initial step that restored supply chain confidence, yet warned that affordability remains a major concern as households continue to shift toward cheaper alternatives like firewood and charcoal.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Despite government efforts to stabilize the LPG market, Nigerian households are yet to experience meaningful relief from the high cost of cooking gas. Although supply sufficiency improved from 11 days to 22 days following a June emergency meeting, Edu Inyang of the national marketers’ association noted that the intervention prioritized product availability over price reductions. Retail rates, which had spiked as high as ₦2,500 per kilogramme in some areas during June, have stopped escalating rapidly but remain at levels that many families find unaffordable. Marketers attribute these stubborn prices to a combination of rising import costs, distribution bottlenecks, and global pricing factors that were not fully resolved by the Abuja stakeholders’ meeting.
Option 3: Concise Summary Government intervention in the cooking gas market has successfully eased supply shortages and halted rapid price spikes, but retail costs remain prohibitively high for millions of Nigerians. While marketers confirm that product scarcity has reduced and filling plants now have better access to supplies, factors such as high transportation expenses and foreign exchange volatility continue to drive retail prices between ₦1,300 and ₦1,650 per kilogramme. Industry leaders emphasize that while the recent stakeholder engagement was a vital move to prevent deeper supply disruptions, a sustained reduction in prices will require addressing structural challenges in domestic production and logistics.
