FG moves to crash cooking gas prices

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Nigerian government halted the export of locally produced cooking gas. Ekperikpo Ekpo, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), disclosed the directive.

The order seeks to prioritise domestic supply over exports to alleviate the burden of rising costs on Nigerian consumers.

His spokesman, Louis Ibah, shared the minister's statement after a high-level meeting in Abuja between the government and stakeholders in the cooking gas value chain.
