Sylva, Kyari Extol Rainoil For Deepening Gas Penetration
The Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva and the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mallam Mele Kyari have applauded Rainoil Limited for its efforts in deepening in-country gas utilization.

Speaking at the launch of Rain Oil Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) facility with a tank capacity of 8000MT and a fleet capacity of about 40 LPG trucks on Friday, the Minister commended Rainoil for partnering with the government in gas utilization and development of the gas sector in the country.

The Minister described Rainoil as a leading integrated company operating in the downstream sector of the Nigerian oil and gas industry. He said that Rainoil is working in tandem with the vision of the federal government, in making gas a preferred fuel in the country.

‘I am excited at what I am seeing here today. Everything can speak for itself. As you can see, energy is very important in the global economy. I am glad that Nigerian’s are playing key roles in the oil and gas industry.
He noted that Rainoil’s investment in gas development aligns with President Buhari’s agenda in the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP), adding that the government has declared 2020 as “the year of gas”.

He stated that the country has sufficient gas reserves to meet its energy needs and was happy to see Rainoil align with the governments drive to deepen LPG penetration and attain 5 Million MT of LPG consumption by 2022.

Reiterating that Nigeria is a net importer of petroleum products, Kyari announced that NNPC is ever ready and willing to support all the companies that are making effort in accomplishing the federal government developmental agenda.
