Cooking gas programme to reach 10m homes — FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria has launched its National Grassroots LPG (cooking gas) Penetration Programme, which aims to reach more than 10 million Nigerian homes by 2060. The programme, implemented through the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the Decade of Gas Initiative, was launched in Akwa Ibom State and will target one million households annually, with the goal of five million homes by 2030 and more than 10 million homes by 2060.

The initiative, which will distribute 27,000 filled LPG cylinders to women across Akwa Ibom State, is described as a practical expression of President Bola Tinubu's vision for Nigeria's gas resources to deliver tangible benefits, including healthier homes, empowered women, job creation, stronger local economies, and shared prosperity.
