Gas Prices on the Rise: Government Takes Action!
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The price of cooking gas, also known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), has been steadily increasing in Nigeria, causing many families to switch back to using charcoal. To address this issue, the government has taken a bold step.

In November 2023, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ms. Ekperikpe Ekpo, formed a committee led by Mr. Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority. This committee was tasked with finding solutions to the rising cost of LPG.

Despite the committee’s efforts, LPG prices have continued to climb. This has forced many Nigerians to return to using charcoal for cooking, which can have negative health and environmental consequences.

However, there is a glimmer of hope. On Thursday, Ms. Ekpo announced that the Federal Government has instructed LPG producers to stop exporting the commodity. This decision aims to increase the availability of LPG within Nigeria and hopefully bring down prices for consumers.

This move by the government has sparked mixed reactions. Some people believe it is a necessary step to ensure affordable cooking gas for Nigerians, while others worry it could disrupt the export market and harm the economy.

Only time will tell whether this government intervention will be successful in bringing down LPG prices. However, one thing is clear: the rising cost of cooking gas is a major concern for many Nigerians, and the government is taking action to address it.
