However, checks by Energy Vanguard also indicated that the price of 5kg of the gas increased by 37 per cent to N5, 700 from N4, 642.27 during the period.Vanguard, the President, Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, NALPGM, Mr. Oladapo Olatunbosun, said the prices of cooking gas would continue to leap as the domestic market continues to be impacted by foreign exchange crisis.

On his part, the Minister of Petroleum , Ekperikpe Ekpo, said: “Despite the declaration of the decade of gas and the government’s push to make gas a transition fuel, low production and rising prices have continued to push Nigerians away from the use of cooking gas. “We are interacting with the critical stakeholders to ensure that there is no exportation of cooking gas. All cooking gas produced within the country will have to be domesticated and when this is done, the volume will increase and of course, the price will automatically crash.
