Gas Marketers Clash Over Price Increase, Consumers Extortion
Gas marketers across the country have clashed over the increasing prices of gas across the country and the extortion of customers.
Naija News learned that the demand for cooking gas in the country dropped by 38 percent in the last one year due to high prices.
The clash between the marketers began when the President of Nigeria Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (NLPGA), Nuhu Yakubu, claimed that the increasing gas price was due to the price of the US dollar.
Yakubu made the claim during a courtesy visit to former President, Olusegun Obasanjo last week.
