Business Day: NLNG restates commitment to increased domestic cooking gas LPG Supply

Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited has affirmed its commitment to providing the nation with sufficient volumes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) otherwise known as cooking gas, based on production operations from its six train facility at Bonny, Rivers State.Advocating increased investment across the value chain to enable sustained and reliable product availability, Omotowa noted that NLNG which currently supplies some 80 per cent of the total cooking gas consumed by Nigerians, has also subsidised the product to the cost of about $50million since the intervention began.

The assertions were made by the company’s chief executive officer, Mr. Babs Omotowa during a presentation titled NLNG’s Role in Developing the Domestic LPG Market at the Nigerian Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (NLPGA) conference today in Abuja, where he was represented by Nigeria LNG’s Marketing and Development Manager, Mr. Abdulkadir Ahmed.

“NLNG’s intervention in the domestic LPG market began in 2007 with the dedication of some150,000 metric tonnes of cooking gas annually, in response to an acute shortage of the product in the market at the time.
