According to the report, many households are complaining as the price of cooking gas has reportedly climbed as high as ₦2,400 per kilogram in some areas, making it harder for families and small businesses that depend on gas for cooking.
The increase is being linked to:
* Limited supply of cooking gas
* High costs faced by gas marketers
* Transportation and distribution problems
* General increase in business costs
Because of the hike, filling cylinders has become much more expensive. For example:
* 5kg cylinder could cost around ₦12,000
* 12.5kg cylinder could cost around ₦30,000 if sold at ₦2,400/kg
Many Nigerians say the situation is forcing some families to reduce how much they cook with gas or look for cheaper alternatives.
