Seplat Energy Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading independent energy companies, has announced the successful delivery of its first domestic supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) from the Bonny River Terminal (BRT) in Rivers State.

The milestone was achieved through a Joint Venture with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), which oversaw the loading of 12,600 metric tons of butane.

This development marks a significant step toward reducing Nigeria’s long-standing dependence on imported cooking gas and underscores Seplat Energy’s commitment to reshaping the nation’s energy landscape.

Industry analysts say the move will not only strengthen domestic energy security but also support affordability and accessibility of LPG for Nigerian households.
