Nigerian households are facing renewed economic pressure after the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), commonly known as cooking gas, climbed to N2,400 per kilogram, deepening the cost-of-living crisis across the country.
The latest surge is expected to further strain millions of families already grappling with rising food prices, transport costs, and persistent inflation. The increase has also heightened concerns over a possible shift by low-income households back to firewood and charcoal, raising fresh environmental and public health concerns.
The continued rise in the cost of essential commodities underscores the growing financial burden on Nigerians, with many calling for urgent government intervention to cushion the impact of escalating living costs.
