NGResidents of Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory (FCT) continue to express dissatisfaction with the high cost of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), commonly used as cooking gas. Despite a recent decrease in prices compared to earlier in the year, LPG remains unaffordable for many households. Current prices range from N1,250 to N1,650 per kilogram, with major gas outlets offering lower prices than roadside vendors. A 5kg cylinder costs between N6,250 and N8,250, while a 12.5kg cylinder ranges from N15,625 to N20,625. Prices stabilized after a sharp increase earlier in the year when LPG reached nearly N2,000 per kilogram. While some residents acknowledge the price drop, they argue that more action is needed from the government and industry stakeholders to reduce costs further and ensure affordability for low- and middle-income households. Consumers emphasize the need for sustained price stability to manage household budgets effectively.
