The Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has stated that 100 percent of Liquefied Petroleum Gas due to increased demands.

Speaking during a visit to the Commission Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Mrs Oritsemeyewa Eyesan, the Managing Director of NLNG, Adeleye Falade, highlighted NLNG’s domestic LPG strategy as a deliberate market-shaping intervention.

This was contained in a statement by NUPRC’s Head, Media and Corporate Communications, Eniola Akinkuotu,
Falade stressed the centrality of upstream collaboration to sustaining gas supply.

“Today, 100 percent of our LPG production is dedicated to the domestic market—not due to reduced output, but because demand has expanded significantly,” he said.

Looking ahead, he noted that “Train 7, expected to come on stream next year, will increase its production capacity by about 35 percent, positioning the company to scale both domestic supply and export volumes.

On her part, Eyesan, reaffirmed NUPRC’s commitment to enabling a business-friendly environment and advancing the Federal Government’s gas agenda.

She described the visit as timely, noting that the commission has, since December, accelerated reforms to align regulatory processes as stipulated in the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

“We are deliberately repositioning the Commission as a business enabler,” she said, adding “Through our monthly stakeholder engagements, we X-ray industry performance and resolve issues proactively to ensure they do not escalate.”

The NUPRC boss restated the administration’s responsiveness to the oil and gas sector, linking it to improved investor confidence and increased final investment decisions.

Eyesan added that “the Decade of Gas is not aspirational; it is a practical framework for expanding domestic utilisation while strengthening export capacity.”

Calling for deeper industry alignment, she said, “As government continues to be responsive, operators must demonstrate reciprocity through performance, compliance, and investment discipline.”
