Nigeria’s imports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), used as cooking gas, rise sharply in June 2026, according to figures cited by multiple outlets. The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) reports that LPG imports increase by 1,400% to about 1.5 kilotonnes per day (kt/d) in June 2026, based on an NMDPRA fact sheet for the month. Both sources link the jump in imports to improvements in the domestic supply picture, describing the increase as helping to ease shortages and reduce prices for consumers. They also indicate that while the higher import levels appear to be contributing to near-term price easing, broader and longer-term measures are still needed to ensure stable supply and pricing over time. The reports focus on the scale of the import change and its immediate impact on availability and prices, drawing from the same regulatory data point for June 2026.
