Gas marketers push for safer, smarter, more compliant LPG operations

The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM) urged industry operators to strengthen safety, regulatory compliance and digitalisation to support sustainable LPG growth in Nigeria. At its 2026 webinar, National President Edu Inyang called for a continuous safety culture and a NALPGAM Standard of Operational Excellence based on well-maintained facilities, trained operators, compliant processes and customer protection. Participants also urged operators to meet licensing and incident-reporting requirements and eliminate dangerous practices such as unauthorised propane blending and illegal decanting. Smart filling systems, automated tank gauges, flow meters and vehicle tracking were cited as tools to reduce product losses and improve efficiency.
