The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has engaged gas processing companies as part of efforts to strengthen compliance with regulatory standards and ensure sustained distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and propane across the country.
The engagement focused on the need for gas processors and other industry stakeholders to maintain prescribed standards in the processing, handling and distribution of LPG and propane in line with the Authority’s regulatory mandate.
NMDPRA emphasised that strict adherence to established standards is critical to ensuring the availability of safe, quality and reliable LPG for consumers nationwide, while supporting the continued growth of the domestic LPG market.
The meeting also provided an avenue for the Authority and industry operators to discuss operational challenges, improve collaboration and identify measures to enhance the efficiency and reliability of LPG distribution.
The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to effective regulation aimed at promoting market stability, protecting consumers and creating an enabling environment for sustainable investment in Nigeria’s midstream and downstream petroleum sector.
NMDPRA said the engagement underscored its commitment to being “Firm in Regulation, Fair in Conduct and Fast in Execution” as it work with industry stakeholders to strengthen the country’s LPG value chain.
