The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani
Alison-Madueke, has said that Nigeria is one of Africa’s lowest consumers of
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) notwithstanding its current national LPG
consumption rate of 110,000 metric tonnes (MT) per annum.
Alison-Madueke, who spoke at the opening of the LPG Strategic Workshop and Conference in Abuja, said growth of the LPG market in Nigeria was a critical component of the nation’s gas master plan which it launched in 2010.
