The agency did not indicate the reason for the development
but other industry sources show a government’s policy shift
in favour of gas for domestic cooking.
A report obtained from the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC, also shows a decline of kerosene
importation from 139.6 million in the first quarter of the
year, Q1’19, to 85.5 million liters in the Q2’19, indicating a
huge shortfall in the supply of the product.
Conversely, in another report, on Liquefied Petroleum Gas,
LPG, popularly known as cooking gas, the average price for

August 2019 from N2,024.80 in July 2019.
According to the agency, “States with the highest average

Adamawa (N2,488.75), Bauchi (N2,468.89) and Borno
(N2,391.07).
“States with the lowest average price for the refilling of a
5kg cylinder for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Cooking Gas)

The use of kerosene in aircrafts has been a major driving force for the cost. Left for domestic use alone, kerosene may have been one of the cheapest commodities.

Next level. By the time we get to the upper level even buhari will be complaining about how expensive things are. I pity zombies.

Johnnyessence:
Next lefu on point.

Immediately it was time for Atiku to get a comprehensive beating, you disappeared.

Now you are back to continue rambling, chest beating and badmouthing Nigeria and Mr. President.

lol this is next lefu, we are in together with it.

Next level! buhari is working

Abia state governor has foresight

I said bye bye to Kero long time ago. I use petrol only for my car. Gas all the way. Even my generator is performing wonderfully well with GAS.

I do hope there is still plans for poor people in this country?

Johnnyessence:
lol this is next lefu, we are in together with it.

Atiku not cuummming again? Noted.

To succeed in this Next Level, find something productive to do.

But anyone sitting there and expect to be carried to the Next Level will be disappointed. Wailing they will do.

God bless Nigeria!

If you want kerosene prices to be very low,. deregulation is the answer.

Deregulate the petrol sector,. investment flows in , prices eventually fall, exploration increases

Next level things

You have time for these wailers sha.
They don't advice people on this kind of issue.
It is hunger that will reset their brain,
by then they will find something productive to do and stop waiting for free fraudulent money like before.

We hope it is not only cooking gas that will drop, we hope kerosene prices drop also.
It is not everyone one of us that are privilege to use gas to cook.
Slow and steady we will get there.

Isn't it funny to see some wailers on the thread deciding to choose and comment on the Kerosene prices going up but stylishly ignoring the gas prices dropping and both are in the same sentence!

Once anybody decides to be willfully blind, no matter what you push in front of his eyes, he wouldn't see.
If he decides to be willfully deaf, even if there are thunder by his ears, he won't hear. 


*Patriotic and sane Nigerians Do not Waste time Arguing with Buhari and Nigeria Haters* 

We are not talking about critics who are genuinely concerned about a better Nigeria,. You will know them because when they see good efforts of the government they applaud.

But the others, the one who swore on their lives Buhari will never be president, the enemies of the nation, are the ones we are talking about.
Don't waste your time on them..
They will always be miserable no matter what you tell them.
Simply ignore them.

In Ibadan, 5kg gas sells for 1300 now, it was 1250 last month.

Fake report.

In Adamawa here, we refill 6kg for N1800 and 12.5kg for N3800

New day new low

you just said that not everybody is privileged to use gas. It's like increasing the price of toyota Camry and decreasing the price of a bugatti. Which one do you think affects the people most? Just call a spade a spade. Your messiah buhari has been a disaster and it's getting worse with every passing day.

careful with that stuff.........

Chai so Kerosene that used to be sold N50 per litre has now skyrocketed to this outrageous price?
And its the poor that uses this product asides airlines.
In most countries, aside from planes kerosene is a waste product.

I'm sure you are an accountant....

Imagine... The poor pays more. Except for those with gas phobia, only those who cant afford the cylinders use it and they end up paying more.
