To ensure safer and more economical solutions for households as well as meet local consumption needs in gas usage, Enyo Retail and Supply Limited has partnered with Rungas Group, an integrated Gas trading and infrastructure company to establish LPG Micro Distribution Centers (MDCs) in Enyo Retail Outlets across Nigeria.
The initiative, according to the firms, is in line with implementing the National Gas policy issued by the Federal Government to ensure improved safety, accessibility and affordability of LPG in Nigeria.
With this partnership, Enyo will be one of the first indigenous companies to set up MDCs across its retail stores. The MDCs provide consumers the option to swap their gas cylinder at the point of purchase or have it delivered to their doorstep.

The latest facility in the growing city is a company that manufactures gas cylinders for homes to prevent the use of substandard cylinders, which are increasingly causing domestic accidents, some fatal, through explosions.
There is growing statistics of victims of domestic gas incidents in the country. Most of these accidents result in multiple casualties. As Nigeria races to increase penetration of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) in the country, a combination of ignorance and substandard gas cylinders have contributed to an increasing number of domestic gas-related accidents with majority recording fatalities. In 2020 alone, media reports put the number of domestic gas explosions at over 200 nationwide.
