This drastic price hike has sparked widespread concern, with experts pointing to a combination of factors contributing to the surge.

The price increase has left many Nigerians reeling, with some resorting to alternative cooking methods like firewood and charcoal .

The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM) has warned that the situation may worsen if not addressed promptly.

According to Olatunbosun Oladapo, President of NALPGAM, “The situation is very unfortunate because prices are rising and Nigerian consumers are struggling” .
