THE Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM), has, said that Lagos State government levies are discouraging its from accessing the Dangote Petroleum Refinery to lift products.

The Lagos State Government in the drive for revenue have imposed levies on petroleum products trucks, including LPG trucks moving in and out of the State.

Reacting, the Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM), said these levies have paralysed loading activities at Dangote Refinery since Saturday 22nd February 2025.

In a statement, titled, ‘Looming LPG Scarcity’ the association, stated: “The boycott of the Refinery by truck drivers as a result of the extortions by these agencies will result in a mass scarcity of cooking gas if the government does not address the situation immediately.

“We, therefore, call on the Lagos State Government, the Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), and the Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil) to urgently intervene.

“It is imperative that these agencies cease their harassment of tanker drivers and put an end to the collection of illegal fees. The current strike action that is affecting loadings at all the terminals in Lagos, if allowed to continue, may spread to other states of the Federation, the overall effect of which will have far-reaching consequences on the economy and the well-being of Nigerians.”

The association noted that the price of LPG has been on the downward trend since December 2024, when it peaked at over N24m for a 20MT truck and caused panic among marketers of this essential product.

It stated: “There were concerns that most Nigerians would not be able to afford it and therefore the fear of a bleak yuletide for many Nigerian homes.

“When the price of cooking gas soared to above N24m per 20MT and the retail price was almost N2, 000.00 per kg NALPGAM took these concerns to the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Rt. Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo, advocating for a way out so that Nigerians would not return to the use of dirty fuels as their source of cooking energy with the attendant health implications because of the high cost of LPG. The Minister intervened and prices started coming down.

“Dangote Refinery seems to have provided succour with the commencement of LPG supply into the domestic market. This has been consistent since December 2024 and at a volume that has made the product market relatively stable with availability.

“This has seen the price moved downwards from over N24m to about N16m for a 20MT truck. The positive impact of this has been greatly felt in Lagos and most other states in the country compelling other producers and suppliers to bring down their prices too. If the trend persists, the good news is that every household will conveniently afford LPG.

“The entrant of Dangote Refinery into the LPG domestic market is bringing a great relief and Nigerians pray that it is sustained to make LPG available and affordable. Recent events especially in Lagos State however, may truncate the joy of Nigerians and if the situation is not urgently addressed, there is an imminent scarcity of cooking gas looming in the country.”

Remain small to tax the air wey we breath na oil dem no go tax una die?

Oboy make una find way de get am.

But government should not tax people that much though because it indirectly causes increase in the price of the product because the companies will transfer the burden to the final consumer by adding the taxes as part of their cost.

Lagos State Levies Name the levies and the amount so everybody will be aware of the agencies collecting them
Those are the key details needed.

Area father and area boys Tax, Owo mida MC oloumo with their daddy the mannequin in Aso Villa

Tinubu teams of taxes collectors are everywhere you go. Rather than setting up Economic team, he setted up tax collectors. "We will reduce purchasing power by extending and widening taxes",_ Chicago State first class economist.

The last time they deported them back to their states, they started crying that they wanted to kill them.

Living in their wretched, backwards states is death sentence and they know it.

We told you they are only tax collectors, they do everything to frustate you. Reason for high costs of goods and services.

That’s how they generate their so called IGR and VAT, through fraudulent extortion of businesses

This oil marketer's should take their useless complain to somewhere else you dont want to pay tax? After all the dubious gains you make.

No! An alagemo used roadside sacrifice to impregnate your mothers, that’s why yoruba people look like and behave like d€mons

Unfortunately, 3M pigs were wasted due to tribe-wide stupidity.
Another 6M are warming up to be wasted too.

If you've lived anywhere abroad, you'll come to realise that Nigeria is one hell of an ungoverned space.


There is no single safety net for the masses. The scruffy and cantankerous leaders behave as if they are doing the people a favour.

Just two days ago in Lagos, people were held in traffic for hours during peak times because main traffic arteries were shut down because of a VIP (vagabonds in power) movement. One rickety danfo bus had a baby occupant throwing up because of the carbon monoxide emitting from a stuck trailer.

It was pure hell. Nigeria is not a country. It's a criminal project set up to funnel the resources of the land to the pockets of the leaders and their imperial enablers.

Until the everlasting mumu people know this, otilor.

Which levies is LASG collecting?
Name the levy and the officials collecting.
Let's see receipts of such levies to buttress your claims..
Someone would just open mouth wide and blurt out rubbish just to talk..

See this Abia failure. Ikpeazu fed your mothers kerosene, your kinsmen are celebrating gutters, you are talking nonsense.

Yorubaland gave you all you have today, you were a wretched pauper and a failure in Igboland. You call Lagos a shit hole state but they use "I will take you to Lagos" to impregnate your mothers in Igboland.

Fortunately, 10M d€mons in the SW are wallowing in abject multidimensional poverty due to tribe-wide stupidity, 20M more will them soon from the same region.

Lagos IGR every state times 100
Lagos IGR every state times 100
