The Nigerian Government has revealed that Nigeria currently produces about five million tonnes of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) annually.
This was disclosed in a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters in the Office of the Vice President, Adeyemi Dipeolu, at the India-Nigeria Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Summit Abuja, 2022.
He also noted that only 8% of Nigeria’s production is consumed locally.
The Presidency noted that domestic LPG production stands at about 45% of annual consumption, with Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) supplying 450,000 metric tonnes per annum while 55% is imported.
