Federal Government says it has stopped the exportation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) also known as cooking gas, to reduce the scarcity and hike in price in the country.
Ekperiko Ekpo, Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, made this known at the “Internal Stakeholders’ Workshop,” in Abuja on Thursday.
According to him, they are interacting with critical stakeholders to put an end to it.
“We are interacting with critical stakeholders to ensure that there is no exportation of LPG.
“All LPG produced within the country will have to be domesticated. And when this is done, the volume will increase and of course, the price will automatically crash.
“I am in contact with the regulation, NMDPRA, we hold meetings almost on daily basis, and the producers such as Mobil, Chevron, and Shell. So there is that hope that things will turn around. We don’t need to make noise about it,” he said.
