LPG Is The Fuel For 21st Century– Apathi
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been described as a better alternative fuel for automobiles.
Apart from being safer and cleaner, LPG is said to be capable of doubling the life span of engines when compared with the normal PMS in use.
Mr. Venkat Apathi of Nipco stated this in a seminar recently organised by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in Abuja for corps members serving in the Ministry of Petroleum Resoruces.
In a paper titled, “From the Wellhead to the Pump,” Apathi noted that Liquefied Petroleum Gas was the fuel for the 21st Century, and urged Nigerian motorists to embrace it.
While enumerating other benefits of LPG, he said the gas is a high Octane fuel and because it is gaseous, the engine runs smoothly with highly reduced noise.
“LPG emits very low greenhouse gas which makes it good alternative to PMS in this era of global warming and climate change,” he said.
He also said that Nigeria produces 12 per cent of about 17 million metric tonnes of LPG in Africa but consumes about a percentage of the 12 million metric tonnes of LPG being consumed on the continent.
He advised Nigerians to utilise the huge gas wealth in the country outside domestic use, and noted that 30,000 metric tonnes out of the 60,000 metric tonnes LPG demand in the country was for domestic purpose.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Gantry Self-Collection Sales, Tuesday
This is revealed in an email communication from the Group Commercial Operations Department of the company, and obtained by Newsmen, at the Weekend.
The company explained that while gantry access is being reinstated, the free delivery service remains operational, with marketers encouraged to continue registering their outlets for direct supply at no additional cost.
The statement said “in reference to the earlier email communication on the suspension of the PMS self-collection gantry sales, please note that we will be resuming the self-collection gantry sales on the 23rd of September, 2025”.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also apologised to its partners for any inconvenience the suspension may have caused, while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to improving efficiency and ensuring seamless supply.
“Meanwhile, please be informed that we are aggressively delivering on the free delivery scheme, and it is still open for registration. We encourage you to register your stations and pay for the product to be delivered directly to you for free. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
It would be recalled that in September 18, 2025, Dangote refinery had suspended gantry-based self-collection of petroleum products at its depot. The move was designed to accelerate the adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which guarantees direct shipments of petroleum products to registered retail outlets across Nigeria.
The refinery stressed that the earlier decision was an operational adjustment aimed at streamlining efficiency in the downstream supply chain.
