"Prices remained slightly stable in the domestics market and only slightly less stable in the international market for LPG in the immediately preceding week "
     

  •  International prices of LPG started on a rising note in the week under review but ended nearly at the price it was in at the beginning of the week.
    • We find only a slight rise in depot price in response to the rise in prices internationally.

    Regional disparity in the prices of LPG across the country has been a regular feature of the Nigerian LPG market. Though the South-south geopolitical zone hosts the great majority of depots in the country due to its proximity to the ocean, prices have been highest in the region.
     

     

      • The exchange value of the naira to the US. $ was remained stable throughout the week (Figure D).
      • for the first time in weeks the gross foreign reserves of Nigeria is experiencing an upward trend. It rose by 1.43% through the week.
      • The rise in the reserve has implications for the value of the naira in the days and weeks to come and in turn the landing cost of LPG to Nigeria.
      • The composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for the month March 2020 stood at 49.2 points, indicating contraction in Non-manufacturing PMI for the first time after thirty-four consecutive months of expansion.
      • For the gas market, managers report declining inventory, new orders and employment.
      • The sharp rise in the price of oil in the international market is due to the wearing out of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the global economic activities (Figure E)

       

     
     

     

     

      • Price stability will remain firmed up as Nigeria's reserve continues to steadily rise.
      • A potential continuous stabilization in the value of the naira might signal stability in domestic LPG prices particularly if oil prices in the international market continue to drop.

How LPG is contributing to the growth of SMEs in Africas: Your One Stop LPG Provider

A crucial component of human life is energy. Reliable access to modern, reasonably priced energy is essential for a country's social and economic development. Traditional dirty-burning fuels used for cooking, such as coal, wood, and kerosene, produce large amounts of pollutants and carbon monoxide, which are the main contributors to indoor air pollution and its negative health impacts. Continual use of unclean fuels may result in early deaths, an increase in childhood and adult illnesses, associated environmental problems, and stress on the healthcare system, according to experts. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was found in the search for cooking energy that would protect our environment from pollution. LPG is a type of energy that is used in cooking. It is produced by refining raw natural gas or crude oil that comes only from fossil fuel sources. It is kept and moved in LPG cylinders at a reasonable amount of pressure as a liquid. Propane and butane make up the majority of the gases created during the LPG production process. The first online energy company in Nigeria, Kiakiagas, provides excellent, prompt, and safe delivery of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and related products to Nigerian households and businesses.
