Some weeks ago, you would get a 12.5 kg, of cooking gas for ₦14,000, which means that per kg, of cooking gas goes for ₦1,120.
But as soon as fuel subsidy was removed last week, the price of cooking gas started to nose dive, from ₦14,000 to ₦6,950
As of yesterday, cooking gas per kg that was sold at ₦1,120, now sells for ₦700 to ₦800, which was not so some weeks ago.
In Lagos, a 12.5 kg can be filled at ₦6.950 while in other states, it goes for around ₦8000
This means that, although the fuel subsidy has shot up transportation fare, it has equally brought down the price of cooking gas.
