Tougher times are ahead of gas consumers, as marketers have hinted that prices will go up next week.
The President of the Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, Olatunbosun Oladapo, said gas consumers should brace themselves for price hikes starting next week.
He cited rising international prices, high tax rates and prices of vessels, forex scarcity, and naira devaluation as some of the reasons for the intended price review.
Olatunbosun described the imminent price increment as unfortunate.
According to him, consumers are now returning to firewood, charcoal, and sawdust for cooking.
He urged the government to tax profit and not products because consumers were not buying gas anymore.
