The Nigerian government must provide the right policy environment to deepen the domestic liquefied natural gas market to make cooking gas accessible to many Nigerians, an expert has said.
This, he said, was achieved through collaboration between the NLNG, the private sector, the Nigerian Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association , and a consortium of local off-takers. According to him, the country needs to ask the hard question at this point and fix its broken market. According to him, there have been many challenges with the LPG market in the country, among which is the lack of coordination on the part of the government.
“There are not enough cylinders in the market. Part of the programme the government plans to roll out under the gas expansion programme was to address the issue of cylinders and I believe that this is where the government should have focused attention,” he said.
