Nigeria Struggles with Low Cooking Gas Adoption, Stakeholders Propose Strategies

Nigerian stakeholders address the low adoption of cooking gas, with per capita consumption lagging behind African peers due to affordability and infrastructure challenges. Approximately 12 million households have access to LPG, a significant improvement from previous years but insufficient for the country's population.

To promote energy stability and clean cooking access by 2030, strategies include fiscal incentives, infrastructure development, public engagement, and investment in the LPG sector. The Nigerian government plans to increase LPG consumption through various measures, including VAT modifications, import duty reductions, and investment in storage and delivery facilities.
