Abuja residents switch to firewood, charcoal as gas hits N2,000 per kg

Residents in Abuja are increasingly turning to traditional cooking fuels like firewood and charcoal due to a significant surge in the price of cooking gas. The cost of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has reportedly reached N2,000 per kilogram, making it unaffordable for many households. This shift back to older methods highlights the economic strain faced by citizens as they seek more economical alternatives for daily cooking needs.

The rising cost of essential cooking fuel impacts household budgets and could have implications for public health and environmental sustainability.
