Factors Influencing Price Changes

The recent price adjustments are attributed to several factors, including increased supply, favorable government policies, and a reduction in global LPG prices.

In response to the fluctuating prices, the Federal Government has announced plans to implement a new pricing formula for cooking gas in Nigeria.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, disclosed this during a recent two-day LPG Expo in Lagos, stating that the government is introducing targeted policy interventions to accelerate LPG adoption and remove barriers hindering investment in the industry. ​

Consumers across Nigeria are currently benefiting from reduced cooking gas prices, with some regions experiencing prices as low as ₦1,100 per kilogram.

These changes are the result of a combination of market dynamics and government interventions aimed at stabilizing the LPG sector.

However, prices may vary between retailers and regions, so it is advisable for consumers to compare prices locally before purchasing.
