Nigeria: NLNG Channels 100 Percent Cooking Gas Output to Domestic Market, Targets 35 Percent Production Rise

By NSE Anthony-Uko

Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has said it continues to dedicated 100 per cent of its LPG (cooking gas) production to the domestic market, driven by expanded local demand rather than reduced output.

NLNG's managing director, Adeleye Falade, shared this during a courtesy visit to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).

He emphasised upstream collaboration's role in sustaining gas supply and highlighted the company's domestic LPG strategy as a market-shaping move.

Falade added that Train 7, expected online next year, would increase production capacity by about 35 per cent, supporting both domestic supply and export volumes.

NUPRC's chief executive, Oritsemeyewa Eyesan, welcomed the delegation and reaffirmed the Commission's push for a business-friendly environment aligned with the federal Government's gas agenda.

She noted accelerated reforms since December to meet Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) requirements.

"We are deliberately repositioning the Commission as a business enabler," Eyesan said.

Eyesan pointed to monthly stakeholder engagements for proactive issue resolution, crediting regulatory responsiveness with boosting investor confidence and final investment decisions.

She framed the "Decade of Gas" as a practical initiative for domestic utilisation and export growth, urging operators to reciprocate with performance, compliance, and investment discipline.
