The report added that LPG valued at $40.97 billion, an equivalent of N15.159 billion, was supplied in the country in September, with a total of 136,569.1 MT VAC of LPG, 1.02 per cent lower than the 135,191.4 MT VAC of LPG, valued at $40.557 million, or N15.006 billion, recorded in September 2019. PPPRA LPG supply data further stated that the volume of LPG, also known as cooking gas, supplied in September 2020,

however, represented a decline of 10.53 per cent compared to the 123,554.33 MT VAC of LPG, valued at $37.066 million, an equivalent of N13.71 billion supplied in August 2020. The PPPRA data revealed that out of the total volume of cooking gas supplied in September 2020, 57,187.75 MT VAC, representing 41.87 per cent of the total, was imported, while 79,381.34 MT VAC of the commodity, representing 58.12 per cent of the total was sourced locally.

In comparison, in August 2020, 71.35 per cent of the LPG supplied in Nigeria was imported, while 28.65 per cent of the total was sourced locally, representing 88,157.108 Mt VAC and 35,397.221 MT VAC respectively.
