This follows the hike in prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that cooking gas which has been embraced by a larger percentage of Nigerians rose from its former price of N400 and N500 to between N650 and N700 per kilogramme.
NAN also learnt that the hike in price of the product led to high patronage of firewood and charcoal which costs N100 and N200 respectively and equivalent to one Kilogramme of cooking gas.
Some of the residents in separate interviews with NAN on Thursday in Okitipupa lamented the hike in prices of cooking gas, forcing them to resort to buying firewood and charcoal for cooking.
