Prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (cooking gas) in Africa’s biggest economy fell for the first time in a year in May, offering an unexpected and brief respite to households.
The price of a 12.5kg cylinder of cooking gas dropped by 30 percent owing to lower crude oil prices and a decline in global gas prices.
In a survey of major cities in Nigeria, the price of cooking gas is trending downwards to N7,000 currently from N10,000 two months ago.
