Niglpgas.com’s Statement of the Week was made by Sanjay Teotia, Mr. The Former Managing Director of Nipco PLC, Sanjay Teotia

“We diversified in the gas realm in 2009 with the inauguration of a state of the earth LPG plant in Lagos with a total storage capacity of 4,800MT spread across three spheres and a three point loading gantry.

 As at the time of its inauguration, it was the biggest LPG storage in the country thus creating veritable avenue to store gas and distribute effectively with the scores of LPG trucks commissioned by the company.

We improved on the storage capacity and other LPG infrastructures in a bid to meet growing LPG stakeholders’ interest.

We commissioned the biggest LPG single sphere in Africa with a capacity of 5,600MT and increased the loading arms in the gantry to five in a bid to ease loading of trucks for onward distribution of the product to all the nooks and crannies of the country.”

 “Today, NIPCO controls a major share of the LPG market with its massive storage facilities and other infrastructure put in place to aid access to the product by the populace.

 “The peerless service being provided by the company has made it depot of choice by many bottling plants and others in the business of LPG.

“The improved storage facility and product reception at the terminal has been a major boost in the effective turnaround of LPG vessels berthing at the Apapa jetty.”
