The Federal Government has put measures in place to ensure that up to 13.8 million households in Nigeria embraced the usage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for their cooking within the next five years.

Vice-President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo made the statement on Friday while inaugurating a landmark LPG cylinder manufacturing plant, built at Ajah, near Lagos by Techno Oil Limited.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the plant, the building of which commenced in 2015, is the largest of its type in West Africa.

“We are targeting a 40 percent adoption rate or 13.8 million households in five years and 73 percent adoption in 10 years or about 33.3 million households,’’ Osinbajo stated. He said that government was also envisaging to generate up to two million jobs from the LPG sector during the tenure of this administration.

According to him, the government has also set a goal to achieve five million metric tonnes of domestic, commercial and industrial LPG utilization within the next 10 years.

He said that government was doing its utmost to harness the abundant resources in the gas sector, disclosing that the National LPG Expansion Programme had been established to achieve the goals by the government in the new gas policy.

“We identified that it is necessary to emphasize coordination and collaboration in promoting LPG adoption as previous attempts in achieving the goal has failed because of the fragmented approach within the government,’’

Osinbajo said that progress had been made in LPG adoption with the removal of five percent VAT from the domestic pricing of the commodity to discourage importation.

“Techno Oil’s investment auspiciously converges with our administration’s efforts to speedily diversify our economy, through domestic and indigenous solutions.

“When we came into office in 2015, one of the issues we identified was the abysmally low domestic utilization of LPG in Nigeria.

The vice-president said that it was wrong for Nigeria to continue to rely on biomass fuels such as firewood and traditional fuels such as petrol and diesel for their domestic energy needs.

He said that biomass and other fuels were prone to giving health, environmental, economic and social challenges, ranging from carbon emissions, deforestation and a high number of deaths resulting from air pollution.

“According to the World Health Organisation, the smoke from burning wood fuels is a major cause of women and children mortality in Nigeria,’’ he added.

The Executive-Vice Chairman of Techno Oil, Mrs. Nkechi Obi, said that cylinder inadequacy and high cost of acquiring the facility had been taken care of with the building of the plant.

“This plant has an annual production capacity of over five million cylinders of different sizes and we believe it will go a long way to boosting the LPG adoption drive in Nigeria.

“We have just two million cylinders in circulation in Nigeria at present. However, in just four months, this plant will produce one million cylinders.

“This means that we have the capacity to meet the country’s requirements and to produce for export to other West African countries,’’ Obi said.

She, however, appealed to the government to provide the necessary support to the company to sustain local manufacturing of the cylinders.

This pastor has started again,13.8 million household users,when your government is not ensuring that these households gets a square meal.....mtchw

This got is useless, so it's cut of one company dey want to Barr everyone from owning cooking gas unless certified by FG to hv been bought from this particular plant..

Delusional pastor

Good idea.

It would reduce our dependency on firewood, which would save a lot of trees, which would also prevent deforestation which would also go a long way to prevent the Sahara from encroaching and end herdsmen crisis among other things. And good in mitigating climate change

And no more gas flaring, which would help the Niger Delta.

Bleep you osibande ...... See blow idiot on top of me.

The government wants you to eventually take your empty cylinder to a gas sales point and replace it with a full cylinder.

NNPC already does that at their outlets, and they have been doing it for years.

Quite impressive from Techno oil. I'm betting that woman should be one of the wealthiest women in West Africa but she appears to be very modest in her approach.
Anyway thumps up for adding value to the nation's economy

Well it takes a family that can afford 3 square meal and miscellaneous expenses to b able to afford a gas cylinder.. Which one b only 2 million cylinder in circulation .. The tens of containers of cylinders that come alaba daily never pass 2 million? Lol

Check my signature/website, get your electronics, SMART TVs, air conditioners, washing machines and sound bars at affordable rate,payment on delivery, BUY4ME services available too with POD option

This Government talks too much crap.

What's the use of it if people in the village can't afford to buy 12kg gas that cost N4000

Okay we believe you pastor. Just like you have given us light and make petroleum cheaper. Ride on pastor.

Another Buhari invention

If they can afford kerosene or Lpg, they won't be felling trees to cook

This is a welcome development. I'll always tell whoever wants to listen and whoever wants to invest, to invest in liquefied petroleum gas aka cooking gas. It is the future. It is safer, it is cheaper, it is more affordable and best of it all, it doesn't make your pot black. Lol.

Bleep you

osibande ...... See blow idiot on top of me.

Come oo!! What the 'Osibande' do to you this early morning? We are commending a company that is doing well for the nation and you are insulting the VP, must your life be filled with hate? Can you move past political or enthic sentiments? Tufiakwa!!!!!

Governor Ikpeazu and his kerosine people wont believe this,

It wasnt like Professor osinbajo woke up one morning to call press confrence and dish out this datas he is giving, but he went to inuagurate a local gas tank and cylinder manufacturing company in lagos and the Goverment wants to partner them for mass production of gas cylinder at a very affordable rate.

The hate on Professor Osinbajo because Your own Peter Obi couldnt win the Vice president office isnt going to affect him one bit
