The average price of LPG across Nigeria decreased by approximately 3.39% from August to September 2024. This drop in prices may be attributed to market stabilization, better distribution channels, or a potential government intervention in the energy sector. However, the regional disparities highlight that some areas, especially in the South-West, are still seeing higher prices, which could limit accessibility for some households.
