The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, NALPGAM, has raised alarm over the soaring cost of cooking gas in the country, warning that the continuous increase in price could spark public outrage against operators of gas filling stations.
The association disclosed that cooking gas now sells between N1, 500 and N1, 700 per kilogram, while marketers pay between N25.2 million and N26.2 million for a 20-metric-tonne truck of liquefied petroleum gas, depending on location.
Speaking on the development, NALPGAM National President, Mr. Edu Inyang, appealed to the Federal Government to urgently intervene and stabilise the supply and pricing of the product to prevent further hardship on Nigerians.
