The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has revealed that only 19.4% of households in Nigeria use Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for domestic, agricultural, commercial, cultural, or religious purposes.
This finding was disclosed in the 2024 Nigeria Residential Energy Demand-Side Survey (NREDSS), released on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to the report, the survey covered states from across the six geopolitical zones, including Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Ekiti, Oyo, Enugu, Kwara, Plateau, Kano, and Sokoto.
It stated, “This means that about one in every five households use LPG. The average monthly expenditure on LPG stood at N10,239.7 across the surveyed states.”
The report indicated that approximately 67.8% of Nigerian households rely on fuelwood as a source of energy.
