The price of kerosene has risen by about 200 per cent in Lagos, Ogun states and other parts of the country largely due to the scarcity of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (cooking gas).

Though the official price of kerosene is N50 per litre, most marketers and retailers (with the exception of filling stations owned by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) have, before now, sold it at N100 per litre.
