Cooking gas scarcity rocks Nigerian cities

Lagos and major cities across Nigeria are experiencing an acute scarcity of liquified natural gas (LPG), known as cooking gas.

Dealers disclosed that the halt in sales by the Dangote Refinery has resulted in both price hikes and scarcity nationwide.

In some cities, consumers have reported buying the product at 80% more than the normal price. Where gas once retailed at around ₦1,150/kg, vendors now demand ₦1,600/kg or more.

In a related story, a Nigerian lady lamented how she ended up without getting fuel after hours at the filling station.
