The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM) says cooking gas prices remain high despite improved nationwide supply.

Speaking on Thursday, the association’s president, Edu Inyang, said the Federal Government’s intervention had increased the availability of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), but had yet to bring significant relief to consumers through lower prices.

According to him, retail prices have stabilised but remain stubbornly high due to rising international LPG prices, foreign exchange costs, expensive transportation and inland distribution, as well as inadequate domestic production.

He noted that stronger market competition has also not yet driven prices downward.

The development comes as cooking gas currently sells for between ₦1,450 and ₦1,700 per kilogram in Abuja and surrounding areas, up from about ₦1,200 per kilogram recorded in May 2026.
