In a nation where cooking gas, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), reigns as a favored energy source among households, recent market fluctuations have seen prices skyrocket to unprecedented heights. Today, the average cost of refilling a kilogram of cooking gas in Nigeria stands at a staggering ₦1,000, prompting concerns among consumers nationwide.
Compared to traditional fuels like firewood, charcoal, or kerosene, cooking gas offers a cleaner, faster, and more efficient alternative. However, with the current surge in prices, many households may find themselves grappling with budgetary constraints.
Market research indicates that to refill a standard 12.5kg gas cylinder, consumers are now facing an average expenditure of ₦12,500. This figure, however, is subject to regional disparities, with prices varying between filling stations across the country.
