Marketers of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, well known as cooking gas, on Saturday, have expressed concern over the shortage of supply which has led to a persistent increase in the price of the commodity.

The marketers warned on Saturday that 12.5kg of cooking gas which is currently selling between N7,500 and N8,000 could rise to N10,000 before December if the crisis was not addressed.

They lamented that more Nigerians had resorted to using firewood, charcoal, sawdust, among other unrefined energy sources whose prices have also begun to rise.

Mr Bassey Essien, the Executive Secretary of the National Association of LPG Marketers, made this statement during the weekly e-discourse organised by a leading Pan-African forum, Platforms Africa, a statement on Saturday by the organisation’s Team Lead, Adeola Yusuf, said.

Essien said that the government needed to review the recently introduced import charges and Value Added Tax, else “the price of cooking gas may as well reach N10,000 for a 12.5kg cylinder.”

He said, “Today (Saturday), the price has risen to N7,500 and N8,000. The skyrocketing price of gas is our fear and what we are trying to avoid. Early in the year a 20-metric ton of gas was selling for below N5m but today, the same tonnage sells for N10.2m. As long as there is that supply shortage, the available quantity and the dynamics of supply-demand will keep pushing the price higher.”

Essien, however, made it known that the association was interfacing with the government, stakeholders, producers and importers to see how the situation could be addressed.

“We are also meeting with the marketers vide moral suasion not to capitalise on the situation to inflict more pains on citizens by increasing the cost of gas in their locations though they are equally expending huge cost to have cooking gas at their locations.”

NALPGAM secretary also complained about the gradual rise in the cost of cylinders over the years, saying that all the raw materials used by the two cylinder manufacturing plants in the country were imported.

He said despite Nigeria’s over 180 million population, the country barely had up to 10 million cylinders in circulation amid substandard cylinders in circulation.

He said, “The cylinder ownership structure in the country ensures that owners are in charge of their cylinders. Cylinders expire on the 15th year of usage from the manufacturing date. Because of the high replacement cost, consumers buy what they can afford. This has equally encouraged the proliferation of substandard cylinders in circulation. The regulators are working hard to monitor the standard of cylinders coming into the country.

“The progress in cylinder acquisition still needs government input to ensure that the cost of materials for cylinder production get the necessary exemption from duties but however the state of our local currency still remains a major problem.”

Yusuf, the Team Lead, Platforms Africa, has also urged the Federal Government to wade in and relieve Nigerians of the pains of paying higher for gas.
