The Management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) developed a new plan to reduce the usage of kerosene by
encouraging the consumption of LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) or
simply the cooking gas across the country.
This statement
was made by the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Engr. Andrew Yakubu,
at the combined graduation ceremony of Chief Officers Management
Development programme of batches 069 to 072 in Abuja.
He reiterated the Corporation’s commitment to revive cooking gas consumption in Nigeria as it provides a cleaner and cheaper energy alternative.
According to Engr. Andrew Yakubu, NNPC’s footprint in the domestic gas market has attained unprecedented growth. He also stated that the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, is being repositioned to become a medium sized independent Exploration and Production Company with a production capacity of at least 250,000 barrels per day by the year 2015.
He said in line with the strategic direction to support the Federal Government to increase national crude oil reserve and producibility to 40 billion and 4 million barrels per day, there is aggressive exploration campaign in offshore, onshore and the inland basins of Chad, Anambra, Benue, Bida and Sokoto Dahomey.
