Punch in October reported that the average price for refilling a 12.5kg cooking gas cylinder was N17,000, a new price check showed it has now dropped N13,750.

During a market survey, some dealers who spoke to Legit.ng on Friday, March 14 confirmed the new prices.

Kunle Ajami, a manager of a cooking gas plant in Lagos said that the price adjustment started a month ago.

"There is a massive drop compared to what people were paying last year. We, cooking gas retailers, sell based on how we buy from marketers. If the price is high, we adjust."

FG moves to fix cooking gas prices

In a related development, the federal government has announced a move to adopt a new pricing formula for cooking gas in Nigeria.

The Minister of State For Petroleum Resources (Gas) Ekperikpe Ekpo, disclosed this in a recent two-day LPG Expo in Lagos.

According to Ekpo, the government is implementing targeted policy interventions to accelerate LPG adoption by removing hassles hindering investment in the industry.

Surely we will get there

Here is #1000 per kg

Oga what does it profit a man to lie online and pay a higher price in the market

Its actually true as i bought at 1,100/kg today

APC is here to steal, kill and destroy.

The same 1kg of gas i bought at #350 even during the incompetent and failed regime of Buhari,that you want me to be celebrating #900 per 1kg at this time. The FG has successfully deployed the full weight of its propaganda machine to portray a picture of economic success while on ground the reverse is the case....this time around the masses has completely been economically strangulated,waiting to see if there is any palliative to hang on to...that's how bad the situation is.

jagabandit is working so hard to bring it down to 100 the promised price according to agbero union nairaland branch

I remember when I use to sell gas for Makosah back then on Adenike street, 50kg was like 12k then. Inflation has really eaten deep into the economy of this great country.

Just bought 8kg+ for 10k 5 in Eneka Rivers State , that's 1150k/Kg

That's a welcome development, may it continue on that trend.

Meanwhile, what's responsible for the drop, do you know?

Ipobidients the chronic enemies of Nigeria will die in pain with all these good new rushing in unabated.

God pass ipobidients both home and abroad. Peter Obi will laboured in vain and will never be president.

Southwest,

South South and

North are not used to stagnation. Life itself is full of ups and downs.

Ipobidients are a very sad group

Zombies will not end well

treesun:

Dem dey scam u. . No use your mouth talk abi na government go help u do that one

Jokerman:

Use Google

It's very true. In Portharcourt a KG of gas is presently now 1,100 naira compared to in January when it was 1500 naira.

I don't understand how people would want to be praised for being incompetent.

Apc met cooking gas at N250 per kg in 2015 took it to N1,500 per kg in 2024.

Now it has dropped to N1000 per kg and they are beating thier chests and calling those who point our thier incompetence haters...

When cooking gas drops to N500 per kg, only then can the apc government seek accolades from the masses.

Thieves in Jos selling 1300

Moroccoguy:
Surely we will get there

Get where?

Tinubu's people and lies are like 5 & 6

We are still hoping for further price reduction

Dec 2014,gas was #250 per kg in a 'failed regime'

My Allawee was #19800 yet it could buy 2 bags of rice and 1 cylinder of gas ,quality gas that lasted us for 2months plus.Ialso got 2 crates of eggs and Sardines .

3 months later,APC took over and the downward spiral began.

At 77k Allawee,a Corp member won't be able to buy a bag of rice,nothing let alone the 33k they are receiving.
And Tinubu Media Crew has the temerity to threaten a Corp member who spoke up on her realities .
Tinubu" you are a terrible president"
You have removed the money guzzler ' Fuel Subsidy,Electricity Subsidy,increased Vat and bank taxes.Show us the impact.

Anybody who comes here to celebrate any slightest form of reduction is not mentally sound.
