The Federal Government says it is working to expand gas utilisation by moving five million households to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for cooking. The plan is presented as part of a broader energy and environmental effort to reduce reliance on firewood, kerosene, and other biomass fuels that contribute to carbon emissions and indoor air pollution. Speaking on the initiative, the government frames the LPG transition as supporting public health and Nigeria’s development by increasing the use of natural gas. The target of five million homes is reiterated across reports, with both outlets describing the initiative as a key step in improving household energy access while advancing cleaner energy use. The government also links the shift toward LPG to wider economic and policy objectives, including strengthening investor confidence and encouraging industrialisation through expanded gas availability. Overall, the sources describe a national LPG rollout aimed at replacing traditional cooking fuels in millions of homes, with the stated goals of emissions reduction and improved health outcomes.
