Cooking Gas Price Hits All Time High

Cooking Gas Price Hits All Time High

The price of cooking gas has risen to about N1,500 per kilogram across parts of Nigeria, putting more pressure on households.

The increase comes as families continue to struggle with rising living costs. Many consumers say the new price is making daily cooking more difficult.

Market checks show that the cost of refilling cylinders has gone up sharply in recent weeks. Retailers link the hike to supply challenges, high import costs, and unstable exchange rates.

The situation has affected both small buyers and bulk users across major cities.

Traders say transportation and distribution costs have also played a role in pushing prices higher. Some outlets have adjusted prices multiple times within a short period.

The changes have created uncertainty, with buyers unsure of what to expect next.

The rise in cooking gas prices is forcing some households to turn to alternatives like firewood and charcoal.

Concerns are growing over the impact on health and the environment if the trend continues. Many Nigerians are calling for urgent action to ease the burden.
