NNPC pledges to increase supply of Gas
The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has pledged to increase supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas, in order to bring down its price across the country
The Group Managing Director (GMD)/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the NNPC, Malam Mele Kyari, announced this at the inauguration of a 120-metric tonnes LPG storage and bottling plant by Emadeb Energy Services Limited in Abuja.
He, however, explained that the hike in cooking gas price is international issue.
Kyari said the commissioned plant would help to reduce the cost of energy since LPG was cheaper than any other alternative fuel.
He stressed that the Federal Government was committed to providing gas for its citizenry.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Emadeb Energy Services, Mr Adebowale Olujimi, urged the government to support LPG investors considering the capital intensive nature of the sector.
