Marketers of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, under the aegis of Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, have raised alarm over indiscriminate hike in the price of the product by 75 per cent.
Executive Secretary of the association, Bassey Essien said within a five-day period, the price of 20 metric tonnes of LPG which sold for N3.15 million, suddenly increased to N3.5 million and N3.9 million.
Essien said it became necessary to react to the current price hike of cooking gas in spite of the efforts of the government and stakeholders to deepen the usage of LPG in the country.
