Lawan Charges LNG To Make Cooking Gas Available To Nigerians

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has advised the management of Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, to ensure improved supply of cooking gas in the country.

Lawan, according to a statement by his Special Adviser, {Media}, Ola Awoniyi, gave the advice when the Managing Director of the NLNG, Tony Attah and his management team visited him in Abuja.

 He said, : “The LPG you bring to the country, you should bring more because if we have to move away from using the firewood and so many other things that can cause problems to the environment, we have to have more LPG for cooking.

“I believe that you have the wherewithal. If it requires a policy or legislation, I believe there is need to  fast track our ability to make the LPG available to Nigerians.

“Today what is available to Nigerians is very low. I believe that we can do much better than that.”

The Senate President described the NLNG as a project that is so important and critical to Nigeria.

Lawan told the NLNG team to work closely with the relevant committees in the National Assembly with a view to fast tracking the realization of the objectives of the project.

The Senate President further stressed that Nigeria is reputed to be more of a gas nation than oil which would not make the supply of domestic gas very challenging.

According to Senate President, the country has what it takes to be ambitious like other gas endowed nations.

Lawan said there is also a need to ensure stability in the Niger Delta to sustain an uninterrupted operations in the region.
