Nigeria In One Minute
Forex, infrastructural constraints worsen Nigeria LPG market woes
The continuous rise in the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), otherwise called cooking gas in Nigeria, may continue for a while if challenges relating to foreign exchange, infrastructure, and planning are not addressed now.
More Nigerians may be forced to revert to alternative unclean energy sources like firewood, and other dirty fuels.
This was the position of the Executive Secretary, National Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM), Bassey Essien, and the National Chairman, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Retailers, a branch of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Chika Umudu, who spoke to The Guardian in separate interviews.
