FRI AUG 28 2026-theGBJournal| Nigeria’s oil and gas regulator has stepped up engagement with gas processing companies to strengthen compliance across the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and propane value chain, in a move aimed at improving the safety and reliability of supplies to consumers and supporting the growth of the domestic market.
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) engaged gas processing companies in a meeting focused on strengthening compliance with regulatory standards and ensuring the sustained distribution of LPG and propane across the country.
The engagement focused on the need for gas processors and other industry stakeholders to maintain the required standards in the processing, handling and distribution of LPG and propane, in line with the Authority’s regulatory mandate.
“The Authority emphasised that adherence to established standards is critical to ensuring the availability of safe, quality and reliable LPG for consumers nationwide, while also supporting the growth and development of the domestic LPG market.”
The meeting also provided an opportunity for the Authority and industry operators to address operational concerns, enhance collaboration and identify measures to improve the efficiency and reliability of LPG distribution.
NMDPRA reaffirmed its commitment to effective regulation that promotes market stability, protects consumers and creates an enabling environment for sustainable investment in the midstream and downstream petroleum sector.
The engagement underscores the Authority’s commitment to being “Firm in Regulation, Fair in Conduct and Fast in Execution”, while working collaboratively with industry stakeholders to strengthen Nigeria’s LPG value chain.
