project.

As we know gas production and supply seems to be one of the major economic strength in Nigeria, just recently the minister for petroleum state proposed gas production and supply to replace petrol or fuel production as gas is seen to to be more environment friendly as compared to petrol.

In almost all homes today in Nigeria everyone seems to have a can of gas irrespective of the size and weight, looking from that perspective would you consider starting starting a gas plant a good business idea?

Well, having a gas plant is not a bad business idea as long as you have the capital to set it up and their is good location for you to plant the gas. More so, you must be able to meet up with the requirements and laws giving to you by the board that controls the marketers. Having a gas plant is really a good business idea and it is also profitable.

In my home country, you need at least $700,000 to start a gas plant. This is a big money. You also need to do a lot of paperwork. Therefore, I can not see myself as an owner of a gas plant. However, you can start a fast station and sell fuel for just about $300,000. Likewise, if you want to sell LPG to households, you can start this business for $1000.

Seriously, this is becoming a rampant in my country.... Before you move from one place, you will see gas plant shops. I think it's becoming lucrative this days because of the rate at which people are buying gas and using them, is alarming. But inorder to set up this kind of business you will need to have enough stable capital before indulging.

If my estimates are correct a majority of the population use gas to cook and a lot of people to use fuel for their cars so this will be a very good business idea.

Gas plant is a good business that is very much in demand because people need to fill their cooking gas . The major issue with such type of business is that it demands careful measures. One need an experienced operator to run the business because there could be fire explosion in the process of running the business.

The business is profitable , in my location there is high demand of gas and the stores that are selling are not many , probably because some people are scared of opening a store , considering how dangerous gas could be , also but before opening the business , checkmate where you are operating it
