Cheaper cooking gas coming
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that cooking gas was set to be cheaper as Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) supplied 493,000 metric tons of LNG to the Nigerian market.
This development is in pursuit of the company’s commitment to deliver 100% of its LPG production to the domestic market, which was decided by the company’s board of directors.
According to reports, in 2023, NLNG said it supplied about 493,000 metric tons of LPG to the local market, 498,000 metric tons in 2022 and 399,000 in 2021. The company currently caters to 30% of Nigeria’s total LPG demand, which is estimated to be about 1.5 million metric tons.
