Residents of the Federal Capital Territory have expressed frustration over a recent increase in cooking gas prices. Market checks in Abuja showed that Liquefied Petroleum Gas is now selling for between N1,380 and N2,000 per kilogramme, depending on location and outlet, after prices had dropped to as low as N1,250 in some areas earlier in September. The increase has reversed some of the relief recorded in July when improved supply and increased imports pushed prices down. One resident, Mrs Rukayyah Muhammed, said she usually bought a kilogramme for about N1,300 but paid N1,700 at a black-market outlet around Idu Furniture area.
