Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has called for increased consumer awareness, particularly in rural areas, regarding the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to drive up utilisation and reduce associated risks from using biomass for cooking.
Mrs. Fatima Adanan, NLNG’s General Manager, Finance, according to a statement, made this call during the 7th Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES) 2024.
She highlighted the need for a campaign that aims to transition biomass users to LPG for cooking in the market. The goal is to increase LPG usage in Nigeria, thereby altering the current energy mix and achieving deeper penetration of LPG.
Mrs. Adanan emphasised that NLNG is doing everything within its power to make the product available and affordable, selling the LPG at a competitive price with payments made in naira. She said the company is ready to work with stakeholders to deepen LPG utilisation and called on indigenous companies to participate actively in the distribution network and contribute to a robust value chain.
She stressed that NLNG remains committed to promoting the adoption of cooking gas as a superior and environmentally friendly cooking fuel, aiming to safeguard consumers and the environment from the risks associated with alternative fuels, which aligns with its environmental safety priorities.
