Cooking gas is important to many citizens who utilise it as a readily accessible source of domestic energy.
Tragically, the lack of vision, action, and responsibility on the path of the government and stakeholders in the oil and gas sector has led to a shortfall and is about to take cooking gas out of the reach of the perennially battered populace. This should not be allowed to continue.
Tinubu needs to make Nigeria liveable for the populace.
The government should do everything possible to reduce the price of cooking gas otherwise this may push citizens who are already struggling under the crumbling weight of economic hardship over the edge.
Apart from that, many households may resort to cooking with dirty fuels such as firewood, charcoal, and sawdust.
This, of course, is a silent killer. According to the World Health Organisation’s latest data, about 3.8 million people die each year from illnesses, including pneumonia and lung cancer, linked to household air pollution from cooking with dirty fuels. Women and children are said to be the most affected.
The Federal Government should encourage the conversion of more propane output into propane. The government must give deliberate and massive incentives.
There should also be a push to invest in cooking gas production to match the increasing demand. Until Nigeria starts producing more gas, the price will continue to increase.
Unbelievably, Nigeria has the 10th largest gas reserves globally with an estimated 208 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves, according to the NNPC.
Nigeria should not have to rely significantly on importing gas. Sadly, the local production of LPG remains inadequate.
