19 Jan NLNG attributes Rising Price of Cooking Gas to Supply Deficit 

Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited has admitted that its production alone cannot meet the country’s domestic demand for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) popularly known as cooking gas.

It delivered a total of 375,000 metric tonnes (MT) of LPG, comprising butane and cooking gas in 2020 out of which about 34,000MT was delivered in December 2020 alone.

The General Manager, External Relations, NLNG, Mrs. Eyono Fatai-Williams, told THISDAY that the high cost of the commodity, which has seen a 12.5kg cylinder of gas rising to N4,500 from N3,600 within two months was due to a shortfall in supply.
