According to the lawmaker, rising cost of kerosene has forced most Nigerians to depend now on liquefied petroleum gas for cooking, with retail prices of gas rising from N2,500 for 12.5kg to over N5,500. He said that kerosene, which was the only oil product accessible to poor Nigerians in the rural areas, had become so expensive that a litre now sold at between N400 and N450.
