Government’s Plan for LPG Pricing Reform

In response to fluctuating gas prices, the Federal Government has announced plans to introduce a new pricing formula for LPG.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, revealed this at a recent two-day LPG Expo in Lagos, stating that the government is implementing targeted policy interventions to accelerate the adoption of LPG and eliminate barriers hindering investment in the sector.

Consumers nationwide are currently benefiting from reduced cooking gas prices, which have eased household expenses.

However, prices still vary by location and retailer, prompting consumers to compare rates before purchasing.

While the recent decline is a positive development, analysts caution that continued stability in LPG pricing will depend on sustained government intervention and favorable global market trends.
