Marketers explain hike in cooking gas price

TODAY December 23, 2020 Marketers of cooking gas on Wednesday blamed its increasing prices on massive importation, causing anguish to end users. The cost of refilling a 12.5kg cylinder of cooking gas in the recent weeks has gone up from between N3,600 and N3,800 to between N4,200 and N4,500. Bassey Essien, Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, said in a statement in Lagos that 65 percent of the one million metric tonnes of cooking gas consumed in Nigeria annually is imported. He said the situation means that the pricing of the commodity is subject to “vagaries of international prices and foreign exchange restrictions,’’ especially as the CBN has no dedicated window for foreign exchange for cooking gas importers, hence the sourcing of foreign exchange at a high price which ultimately dictates the price the product gets to consumers.
