A source from one of the companies explained that the price hike is due to a significant rise in international market prices. The new depot price of ₦1,150/kg will take effect immediately.
Last week, leading suppliers offered LPG at the following rates:
- Navgas: ₦1,100/kg
- NIPCO: ₦1,095/kg
- 11PLC: ₦1,095/kg
- PPMC: ₦1,092.5/kg
- Techno Gas: ₦1,100/kg
This increase is likely to impact consumers nationwide, resulting in higher retail prices in the coming days.
