Nigeria Targets 10 Million Homes with LPG Initiative
The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to expand its National Grassroots LPG Penetration Programme to more than 10 million households by 2060, promoting cleaner cooking across the country. This initiative, implemented by the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources (Gas) in partnership with the Decade of Gas Initiative, was launched on August 21, 2026.
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, stated that the program aims to reach one million households annually, with five million homes benefiting by 2030 and over 10 million by 2060. Ekpo emphasized the initiative's alignment with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to leveraging Nigeria’s gas resources for improved living standards.
The program will eventually cover all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Beneficiaries will receive up to six free LPG refills, and a digital platform will track cylinder movements.
The initiative also aims to raise domestic LPG consumption to five million metric tonnes annually by 2030.
