In other news….. Nigerians have reason to celebrate as Dangote Refinery has once again reduced the ex-sales price of Liquefied Petroleum Gasoline (LPG), popularly known as cooking gas, to 760 per kilogram.
The latest price cuts come at a time when LPG costs are rising across the country, putting huge pressure on many households.
According to market reports, several major warehouses are still selling at higher prices. Matrix and Ardova Depots currently offer LPG at NT$920 per kilogram, while Aym Shafa and Nipco have priced it at NT$910. Stockgap Depot is still the most expensive at 950 per kilogram.
With Dangote’s new prices, consumers’ savings range from ₦150 to ₦190 thousand kilograms compared to other suppliers. Industry observers believe the move is part of the refinery’s efforts to bring down market prices and make cooking gas more accessible to Nigerians.
Experts also described the price adjustment as a deliberate strategy to stabilize the LPG market. They note that refiners appear committed to curbing arbitrary price increases that have burdened consumers in the past.
one analyst said“This post-maintenance price reduction for Dangote reflects a clear intention to restore supply levels and bring orders back to the domestic LPG market.”
However, despite the refinery’s intervention, many retail stores in various states are still selling at inflated prices. In Lagos and other parts of the country, customers have reported between 1,000 and 3,000 payments per kilogram in recent weeks.
The ongoing shortage has triggered long queues at gas plants and filling stations, causing frustration among many Nigerians as they struggle to refill their cylinders.
