Speaking on the company’s performance over the last few years, Kumar stated that NIPCO Gas has continued to demonstrate resilience and sustain growth potential despite challenges such as foreign exchange volatility, rising inflation, and fluctuating petroleum prices in the international market.

 

The company is focused on quality service delivery across all our business lines to consistently deliver good profits and value for our shareholders, he said.

 

In the LPG sector, NIPCO is playing a crucial role in harnessing Nigeria’s abundant gas resources. Kumar highlighted the company’s significant progress since diversifying into the natural gas distribution subsector following the inauguration of its LPG plant in 2009.

 

“We have expanded our LPG sector reach to several states through massive skid deployment and other infrastructure, enhancing access to the product at market-friendly rates. Our LPG penetration grew to over 70 outlets in 2023, with prospects of reaching 100 in 2024,” Kumar noted.
