Description
Summary:This report represents a further step in the Nigerian Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas Sector Improvement Study. It follows the report on the fact-finding mission and study work plan, submitted initially in December 2002, and updated in January 2003. The preliminary report submitted in March 2003, incorporated additional fact finding (including the findings of a household survey), and an analysis of critical issues. These critical issues are addressed in this final report through a set of strategies and related action plans outlined in Chapter 15, and set out in roadmap format in Chapter 17. The recommendations are included in the Executive Summary. A final stakeholders workshop was held in Abuja on December 11, 2003. At this workshop, held under the auspices of the Federal Government of Nigeria and the World Bank, the study consultants, C.I.Services, and the World Bank Team jointly presented their study findings, and most importantly, the strategic roadmap to bring the sector back to sustainable development. Following on the workshop, and at the suggestion of the World Bank, the Federal Government of Nigeria recommended that a steering committee be set up to pilot, promote, and monitor the implementation of the roadmap.
