          "NLNG managing director Adeleye Falade said the company planned to increase LPG production capacity by 50% by the end of 2027. He said NLNG produced about 500,000 tonnes of LPG in 2025, around 40% of Nigerian demand; its board decided in 2022 to supply all retained LPG production to the domestic market.",
          "The announcement came at the completion ceremony for Asiko Energy’s LPG and propane terminal in Ijora, Lagos. Asiko said that terminal has about 5,000 metric tonnes of capacity. NLNG’s 50% increase is a future target, not capacity already delivered."
