Despite its huge population of 194 million people, only five per cent of Nigerians use gas for cooking. About 60 per cent use firewood, 30 per cent use kerosene, while five per cent use coal.
These figures were given by Programme Manager, National LPG Expansion
Implementation Plan (Office of the Vice-President), Dayo Adeshina, at the just
concluded 7th Annual LPG conference and exhibition, held in Lagos. Adeshina,
also disclosed that about 90 percent of the cooking gas are in expired gas
cylinders.
Industry reports
showed although low utilisation of LPG constitutes a source of worry to
the government; it remains more worried about the danger associated with the
use of expired cylinders.
