What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Argus reported on the vulnerabilities in sub-Saharan African LPG markets due to the ongoing Iran war. The market disruption was most severe in Nigeria, the region’s largest LPG consumer. Demand in the country dropped by almost 23 percent from March levels, while domestic production also fell by over 20 percent during the period. To manage the shortfall, imports surged to a six-month high of 46,000 tonnes in June.

The cost of LPG increased significantly across the supply chain, driven by international energy prices, shipping costs, and foreign-exchange exposure. As of September 16, 2026, the price of LPG rose 8.3 percent month-on-month, reaching N1,300 per kilogram in accredited gas stations in Lagos. Prices varied by location, ranging from N1,300 to N1,400.

Rising LPG costs are causing severe economic pressure and unrest in Nigeria, leading to appeals for urgent government intervention to stabilize supply and pricing.
