Nigeria’s NLNG reported that it has invested about N150 million to upgrade three jetties in Lagos. The upgrades are an effort to boost the supply of LPG to the domestic market. Speaking during a facility tour of some jetties in Lagos, Tony Attah, managing director of NLNG said that the company has investment covered the refurbishment and upgrading of the Petroleum Wharf Apapa (PWA), New Oil Jetty (NOJ) and Bulk Oil Platform (BOP).
Attah went on to say that the management of NLNG decided to visit the facilities to take a look at the infrastructural challenges inhibiting the free flow of the product into the market. NLNG is committed to supplying 350,000 tons of cooking gas into the market, but was only able to supply 262,000 tons in 2016 because of various challenges.
“NLNG will refurbish some of the jetties and upgrade them so that they can have more capacity to receive and operate optimally and safely. Once product supply increases into the market it will reduce the price of cooking gas. As part of NLNG’s constant advocacy on helping to build a better Nigeria, we are focusing on supply of LPG,’’ he said.
